The safe alternative to Acetone in GRP Cleaning
This product has been proven to provide an economically sound investment for any manufacturer using GRP technology, its initial financial outlay potentially recoverable within a matter of months. Leading manufacturers currently using the work station include internationally known brands who are already taking advantage of the significant financial benefits it offers.
The ESTAKLEEN work station’s unique and sturdy platform with its 316 quality stainless steel design gives glass fibre operatives an ideal shift end area to rejuvenate their own specific manufacturing tools and offers them perfect preparation for their next day’s task. Its ‘ease of use’ operation with revolutionary patent chemical cleaning process combined with final secure compressed air drying.
The design of the Estakleen System makes it straight forward to empty the used solvents into the accompanying drums for recovery by distillation, which produces approximately 80% recovery of product for re-use, making this operation extremely simple for the operative as well as being an effective way of maintaining long term tool life. We believe this is the most environmentally friendly system available.
The cleaning agent used, RHODIASOLV® IRIS, is a non-UN, non-flammable, environmentally friendly, non-VOC (volatile organic compound) and is harmless when in contact with skin and is totally non-toxic unlike any other previously existing GRP tool cleaning chemical. The work station itself also meets strict health and safety guide lines with its non slip stainless grid deck platform design, operative protection systems and sealed intrinsically safe components
Each Estakleen Systems client has their own particular requirements hence the choice of cleaning stations available. There are several ergonomically designed stations, for example the double operative option which easily sites against a wall requiring little space, alternatively the four operative central station offering multiple easy access from any area. Please consult our design team to help choose the most suitable cleaning station from our range
ATEX version is available for hazardous areas. For further information regarding ATEX visit their website
How it works
Step 1
Fill Estakleen workstation with Rhodiasolv IRIS or Estakleen 70
Step 2
Clean GRP Tools, rollers and brushes. Drain used solvent into waste drum which we will collect free of charge, therefore no waste on your premises.
Step 3
Solvent Recovery. Blend recovered solvent with 30% virgin Rhodiasolv IRIS to produce ESTAKLEEN 70
Frequently Asked Questions
Mini = 20 ltr capacity
Two Man = 70 ltr
Four Man = 90 ltr
Less than one minute
Provided that the fitted O ring is used to remove all excess resin form the roller prior to placing into the solvent.
Mini = 5 Laminators cleaning 3 times a day for 5 working days.
2 Man = 10 Laminators cleaning 3 times a day for 5 working days.
4 Man = 15-20 Laminators cleaning 3 times a day for 5 working days.
There figures are to give an idea of the minimum life of the solvent as it could last longer.
We provide empty 205 ltr drums free of charge and liquid waste Estakleen 70 will be collected free of charge by our haulier. The only cost to you is the standard charge for the water consignment note. As an alternative by agreement we will service and clean your workstation, emptying and replenishing the Estakleen 70 and removing the waste from your site. Using the Estakleen system you will habve no waste solvent on site.
We will provide an inhibitor free of charge to prevent the waste from hardening. This should be placed into every empty drum prior to filling it with waste solvent. We are not able to recycle solid waste but can take it away for disposal for a standard charge.
It is re-proccessed by distillation producing recycled solvent and waste styrene and resin which is drummed and palletised and sent to be used as a cement kiln fuel. 30% virgin Rhodiasolv IRIS is then added to the recovered solvent to make Estakleen 70.
There is no water content.
The Estakleen 70 is contained in the workstation and does not evaporate therefore every molecule is accounted for.
Meets all Health Safety & Environmental regulations
Recyclable and environmentally friendly
Non-flammable, non-toxic and non-harmful
To improve its solvency power.
It maximises the retained styrene and resin content prior to saturation.
Estakleen 70 does not evaporate and lasts 3 to 4 times longer than acetone in use. All tools cleaned in Estakleen 70 last far longer and emerge in an ‘as new condition’ time after time.
