Ready to save water and costs with industrial cleaners?

Manufacturing companies today face different demands from customers than they did a decade ago. Customers want to see their products made using the latest methods and with respect for the environment, as required by law. Sustainable production, therefore, and that includes efficient processing of the waste that is created. Metal companies that succeed in this strengthen their competitiveness. Castrol meets this need with its Techniclean XBC series of industrial cleaners. They combine excellent performance with up to 60% less waste handling costs, low water consumption and more pleasant working environment. Verolub is responsible for the distribution of Castrol products in Belgium.

In recent years, several new legislations have set stricter rules that also have their impact on the entire value chain in metal processing. Think of REACH, CLP, BPR, TRGS... So the challenges for manufacturing companies go beyond production alone. They must also place sustainability high on the agenda by containing the use of water, raw materials and the production of waste. OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, expects that by 2050 the population will need 55% more water while the demand for water in the manufacturing industry would grow by 400%. A second concern is the use of hydrocarbons. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly expensive to dispose of them. Metal processors therefore want to see a longer shelf life in their coolants and industrial cleaners.

Castrol's products support companies in their mission to save water and produce more environmentally friendly products.

Extra gain for the environment and your wallet

A path of sustainability, then, which Castrol has also been following for years. The renowned manufacturer's products support companies in their mission to save water and produce in a more environmentally friendly way. A good example is the series of recyclable industrial cleaners: Castrol Techniclean XBC. 

While most modern cleaners are effective at removing cutting fluids, machining oils and particles, they are less successful at separating certain components from cutting fluids from the cleaning tape. If the contamination becomes too high, the entire bath must be replaced. This means more consumption of water and cleaning fluid, which is exactly what we want to avoid. Castrol Techniclean XBC works differently. It provides excellent performance in de-emulsifying and easily separating foreign oil to ensure long bath life. 

In addition, maximum compatibility with Castrol Alusol XBB and Hysol XBB refrigerants stands out. Instead of disposing of the used cleaning fluid, it can be recycled into the cooling system without compromising performance. The benefits of a common chemical DNA. An added benefit for the environment and your wallet.

Less water consumption, less waste disposal costs

That the performance of Techniclean XBC cleaning fluids need not be understated is also proven by Castrol's lab tests and user experiences. Over a wide range of temperatures, these fluids exhibit very low foaming behavior. Moreover, they also lend themselves to application at low or cold temperatures in modern spray systems, systems under high pressure or for intensive flood washing systems, which in turn can help companies save energy costs. 

Techniclean XBC incidentally contains no boric acid or formaldehyde biocides and is available in two variants with (Techniclean 80 XBC) or without (Techniclean 90 XBC) mono-ethanolamine. When the industrial cleaning fluids in the Techniclean XBC range are completely at the end of their useful life, they can still be recycled.

25 years serving your productivity

Verolub celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. A quarter century in which it evolved from multi-brand supplier to official distributor of Castrol, even by far the largest in the Benelux. The key to its success? "The knowledge of the products. Castrol's products enjoy an excellent reputation in the market. We add to that our knowledge of customers' applications," says Yves Lefèvre, technical and operational advisor at Verolub. "With a team that focuses exclusively on the industry in general and metalworking in particular. That know-how and experience are invaluable today, because it's about much more than just supplying machining fluids. We assist customers to increase their productivity and efficiency."
