NO SOLVENTS, no nothing with our sustainable surface hardening solutions

Only by Expanite !

Solvents come in many shapes and forms, each with its own specific applications and associated risks. Different solvents can affect your health in various ways, including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term effects such as liver and kidney damage, or even cancer with prolonged exposure. Solvents are not only hazardous to human health but also harmful to the environment. They can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-lasting ecological damage and affecting wildlife.

Many solvents are volatile organic compounds (also known as VOC)s which contribute to air pollution and the formation of ground-level ozone, a key component of smog. This smog can have severe health impacts, particularly for children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Moreover, some solvents persist in the environment, leading to bioaccumulation and further toxic effects up the food chain.

Recognizing these significant risks, companies and organizations around the world are working diligently to reduce or eliminate the use of solvents in their processes. Regulations and guidelines are becoming increasingly stringent to safeguard both human health and the environment. At Expanite we support these efforts.
