Apr 2012 - Paratene® Products News

Clean Harbors is pleased to announce some new and improved products for the spring of 2012.

Paratene® D731 has been improved! All of the Nonylphenol based surfactants have been removed from the formula of D731 and replaced with newer less toxic biodegradable surfactants. As a result Paratene® D731 gives better results while still giving the performance as a solvent degreaser that makes it the industries' first choice in solvent degreaser.

Paratene® D707 is now available. D707 is a phosphate free, concentrated, water based degreaser for use in industrial, chemical and ultrasonic cleaning. Paratene® D707 is an economical and safe alternative to solvent based degreasers.

Also available now is Paratene® D720 a simple effective, environmentally friendly, inexpensive, surface degreaser and soap. Paratene® D720 is being used in truck was and equipment cleaning applications.

Last but not least is the new Hydrochloric Acid Corrosion inhibitor product Paratene® I209. I209 contains no propargyl alcohol making it safer for workers and the environment. I209 has been extensively tested in the laboratory and gives protection to equipment comparable to the older much more toxic product.

Woodrising is pleased to announce the availability of our new non toxic water foamer Paratene™ NTWF. This product was developed in response to enquiries from a number of companies involved in the gas well drilling, production, and stimulation industry that were searching for a foaming agent that passes the Microtox™ toxicity test for applications at coal bed methane well locations. Woodrising has received test results from an independent environmental testing laboratory confirming that Paratene™ NTWF passes the Microtox™ toxicity test.

Additionally, Woodrising has also developed a foam stabilizer product that increases the stability and half life of currently used anionic, cationic, and non-ionic in the gas drilling, production and stimulation industry. Paratene™ Foam Stabilizer also passes the Microtox™ toxicity test. We are currently providing product samples for application testing and invite letters of interest from companies that are interested in providing Woodrising with territorial distribution services.
