Waste materials that would fill landfills without the use of methylene chloride-based strippers for recycling and refurbishing, reducing landfill waste, mining, and deforestation.

Why Methalyne Chloride products help the environment

  • Methylene Chloride based strippers effectively strip and recycle items that would otherwise be disposed into landfills, increasing landfill usage by millions of cubic feet.

  • If we could not recycle and refurbish items with the proper use of Methylene Chloride strippers and removers, it would increase the need for mining and deforestation for new materials.

  • Much of the methylene chloride used is reclaimed and purified from the pharmaceutical industry’s processes for making prescription medication. If we did not reclaim and purify the methylene chloride, it would be considered a waste product treated by incineration, thus increasing harmful carbon emissions, as well as driving up the cost of medicines from Big Pharma.

Good Work Habits to Control Exposure to MCL Vapors

Control Evaporation:

1. Stir all products before use to ensure that wax and evaporation inhibitors are well mixed

in the formulation.

2. Maintain working temperature between 65-90 degrees if possible

3. If the remover gets too cold, the wax will fracture resulting in more evaporation

4. If it gets over 95-100 degrees, evaporation will increase

5. Keep striping bucket (for flow over tray) or tank (for submersion) covered, even during

stripping

6. Ventilation should be a slow roll to move vapors out of the work area. Think of silt in

water. Do not over ventilate, vapors are heave and sink to the floor do not move vapors

high to breathing level.
