Spick n Clean accepted the industry challenge of replacing diesel for use as a release agent / solvent / Cleaner. This product, which is designed for use as a release agent, is a blend of naturally occurring materials that work in concrete to film metal surfaces to inhibit adhesion. Following extensive testing in laboratory and field, FORTKNOX was developed.
The liabilities associated with diesel are generally divided into two areas:
The concerns over the use of diesel fuel as a release agent or cleaner have been known for years. No company wishes to have its employees exposed to the harmful characteristics of diesel (breathing fumes or skin/eye contact) nor does any company want to contribute to adding a contaminant to the soil and groundwater.
Soil Testing :
Spick n Clean addressed the safety and environmental issues by having FORTKNOX tested in our laboratory. This testing included: VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) and Priority pollutants with regard to soil contamination. Over 20 parameters were measured.
As per laboratory procedure, a sample of clean soil (results included) was injected with Diesel fuel and a second sample was injected with FORTKNOX. The test results of FORTKNOX vs. Diesel are included with this communication. As the report is quite lengthy and detailed, we have included a summary for your convenience.
