Since 1992 Envirofluid has been manufacturing environmentally friendly cleaning products, otherwise known as Chemical Substitutions – currently requiring distributional agents to service the growing demands within the UK & Europe.

The products are engineered to safely work with the user & nature rather than against it by being developed to the highest standards of biodegradability and non-toxic content. Highly Certified and Approved, these products are well respected within industries such as Defence, Mining, Oil & Gas, Agriculture, Road & Rail and many more.

Envirofluid markets products under three distinct brands – Triple7 – ActivEco – Purasolve

Triple7 is a world-class range of products offering powerful yet safe substitutes for some of the world’s most common toxic and dangerous chemicals – many of which are probably in your workplace today. Feature product being the Triple7 BioConcentrate is a non-ionic surfactant solution that reduces oil mats to their mono-layer molecule or particle by separating the oil droplets in an oil spill from one another without actually combining with the oil body or forming a standing emulsion. Very short-lived micro-emulsions are formed and as the hydroxyl or water phase attachment occurs, the extremely weak oil phase serves only to create a water interface (particle separation) in water borne systems. Unlike traditional oil dispersants this means that the product does not disperse oil throughout the water column and, instead, causes it to break up on the surface which aids its recovery. Parasolve range offers low hazard alternatives to commonly used industrial solvents such as MEK, Acetone and Gun Wash as well as products containing carcinogens (cancer forming) including Benzene and its derivatives. Low hazard doesn’t mean low performance. Purasolve solvents dramatically lower health risks for workers, whilst boosting productivity by being more effective and easier to handle than the chemicals they replace. Specially designed recyclable formulations can be reused for years, reducing chemical inventory and dramatically lowering disposal and environmental compliance costs. ActiveEco is a range of chemicals specifically designed for very challenging heavy duty industrial & technical tasks. Every ActiveEco product is carefully formulated for a specific purpose and aims to provide the lowest possible risk profile compared to other products in its category. In conjunction with regular operational use of Triple7 Worksafe and Environmental products, ActiveEco can form part of a chemical regime that manages even the most difficult maintenance problems with increased cost efficiency and improved workplace safety. Envirofluid has been distributing products around the globe for the past 10 years and are now looking for distribution agents in the UK and Europe.
