ESIG Solvents Award
ESIG is pleased to announce the selection of five finalists for the Solvents Award 2019. They showcase innovations of solvents’ downstream users in the fields of sustainability and digitalization.
Safe handling of solvents
ESIG in collaboration with the UK Solvents Industry Association (SIA) have updated their Safe Handling of Solvents safety film (in English), replacing the one first released in 2006. This video enables users to identify health, safety and environmental hazards and to implement best practice to ensure safe handling.
Solvents: one word, many solutions
Solvents are an invaluable solution for industries that range from pharmaceuticals and microelectronics to domestic cleaning, personal care and printing. Find out the variety of ways solvents are present in and enhance our everyday lives.

Solvent Transfer—Efficiency of Risk Management Measures
This paper determines what airborne protection is needed to transfer volatile solvents in a workplace. The proposed measures enable to reduce the average emissions by over 90%.
What are solvents?
This Factsheet explains how solvents make it possible to process, apply, clean or separate materials.
Safe loading and transportation of bulk solvents by road
Designed to support hauliers, drivers and site operators, this short film encourages best practices in the transport of solvents and bulk transfer between vehicles and storage vessels.
