New on YouTube: Solvents & Static Electricity \u2013 An Invisible Hazard Made Visible<\/h2>\n
Static electricity is always present in solvent-handling processes \u2013 during pumping, mixing, pouring, filtering, or agitation. Under the wrong conditions, this invisible charge can accumulate and ignite solvent vapour\u2013air mixtures, triggering fires, explosions, and significant damage.<\/p>\n\n
\n
Preview: New Best Practice Video on Safe IBC Handling<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
IBCs are widely used across the solvent industry \u2013 but their safe handling is far from trivial.
The new video will highlight, in a concise and practical way:<\/p>\n\n
