Environment and Safety

Easy, safe and economical

BELLAND^®Polymer and BELLAND^®Hotmelt are often used only temporarily in processing steps. After fulfilling their function, aqueous alkaline solutions can be used to remove them easily without leaving residues. Aqueous alkaline solutions are neither flammable nor volatile. Generally they are also non-toxic. As a result they offer the following advantages over removal processes using organic solvents:

• no costly fire and explosion-protection measures
• no exhaust air purification
• simplified occupational health and safety measures
• no problems with VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
• no complex approval procedures
• low investment costs
• simplified automation
• environmentally benign processing
