Industrial operations have long relied on petroleum-derived solvents for tasks like bitumen removal, degreasing, and adhesive cleanup. But as industries face stricter environmental regulations, rising workplace safety standards, and pressure to adopt sustainable practices, traditional solvents are increasingly seen as a liability. Flammability, toxicity, and environmental persistence are no longer acceptable trade-offs for performance.
Enter ANOTEC ECOLIM – a groundbreaking, plant-based solvent engineered to deliver high solvency power without compromising safety or sustainability.
The Problem with Traditional Solvents
Petroleum-based solvents, while effective, come with significant risks:
Health Hazards: Exposure to toxic fumes can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term organ damage.
Fire Risks: Low flash points (often below 40°C) create dangerous ignition hazards in industrial settings.
Environmental Impact: Many solvents are classified as hazardous waste, contaminating soil and water systems.
Regulatory Challenges: Non-compliance with VOC (volatile organic compound) limits and workplace safety laws (e.g., WHS) can lead to fines or operational shutdowns.
These challenges are driving industries to seek alternatives that align with modern ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals.
ANOTEC ECOLIM: The Science of Sustainable Solvency
Developed through advanced green chemistry, ANOTEC ECOLIM replaces petroleum ingredients with renewable, plant-based compounds. Its unique formulation achieves three critical objectives:
Maintain High Performance: Effectively dissolves tough residues like bitumen, tar, grease, and adhesives.
Prioritize Safety: Eliminates risks associated with flammability, toxicity, and worker exposure.
Protect the Planet: Biodegrades rapidly and complies with global VOC standards.
Key Features & Benefits
🔹 Non-Hazardous & WHS Compliant
No toxic fumes: Safe for use in confined spaces without requiring respirators or specialized ventilation.
Worker-friendly: Meets Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) standards, reducing liability and enhancing employee well-being.
🔹 Biodegradable & Renewable
>90% biodegradability: Breaks down naturally within 28 days, minimizing ecological harm.
Plant-based feedstock: Derived from renewable agricultural resources, supporting circular economy goals.
🔹 High Flash Point (>170°C) – Low Fire Risk
Eliminates ignition hazards: Safe to store, transport, and use near heat sources or electrical equipment.
Reduces insurance costs: Lowers fire risk premiums associated with flammable solvents.
🔹 Proven Effectiveness
Bitumen & tar removal: Penetrates and dissolves heavy hydrocarbon deposits without damaging substrates.
Grease & adhesive cleanup: Ideal for automotive, manufacturing, and maintenance applications.
🔹 VOC Compliant
Meets global standards: Aligns with EU VOC Directive, U.S. EPA regulations, and Australian NICNAS requirements.
Reduces carbon footprint: Low-VOC formulation supports corporate sustainability targets.
Industry Applications
ANOTEC ECOLIM is versatile across sectors:
Construction & Roadworks: Efficient bitumen cleanup from tools, machinery, and surfaces.
Automotive & Aerospace: Degreasing engines, parts, and manufacturing equipment.
