SAFE-TAINER™
Alex Reid and SAFECHEM introduce safe and sustainable handling systems for Perchloroethylene
Over many years perchloroethylene has proven its value as a dry cleaning solvent. DOWPER™ and DOWPER™ Pure Power solvents are the premier choice for the dry cleaning industry. When proper risk management practices are followed, they can be used in a safe and sustainable way in compliance with legal requirements.
The Sustainable Solution with DOWPER™ in the SAFE-TAINER™ System
The SAFE-TAINER™ system has proven its value in various European countries, for more than fifteen years. It is a unique closed loop state-of-the-art delivery system for handling chlorinated solvents. The system consists of a robust inner stainless steel container with an outer polyurethane case for additional protection, which offers safer transport and storage. The easy to connect accessories enable safe and virtually emission free solvent transfer.
This innovative solution represents the Best Available Technology and can be interfaced with virtually all standard dry cleaning machines. The SAFE-TAINER™ system enables safe and easy solvent storage and transfer as well as compliance with all legal requirements regulating the use of chlorinated solvents.
Alex Reid has recognised that this offers their customers an opportunity to better handle perchloroethylene and is initiating trails at several of their customers to confirm its benefits.
It is important to state that Dow continues to be committed to perchloroethylene solvents. Dow and SAFECHEM will continue to promote the safer use and handling by closed loop delivery systems and cooperate with Alex Reid to introduce the SAFE-TAINER™ system into the UK’s dry cleaning market as of September 2011.
