Solvents and Health, Safety & Environment

Solvents are used in a wide variety of everyday applications and play a vital role in providing solutions to many of the challenges of modern life: solvents are often simply the best ingredients for the job at hand. Maintaining the highest levels of environmental, safety and health standards in the production and use of solvents is an absolute priority for the industry. The solvents industry, and its downstream users, therefore actively promote the safe and responsible use of solvents and also continuously develop new and improved products.
