Our Commitment
We act because history must not repeat itself. Chromium (VI) should not come as a surprise in becoming the asbestos of the 21st century in the insulation industry.
Cleansulation® Technology B.V. sees itself not only as a technological company, but as an active player in occupational health and safety and environmental protection.
Both founding members, Duratras® and Kavarmat®, are still affected by the effects of the asbestos scandal — through industry and personal experience.
This painful lesson has shaped us and motivates us to act proactively.
Metrics and Goals
The Parallels Are Obvious
Both hazardous substances
-
asbestos and
-
chromium (VI)
were used in industry for decades, even though their hazardousness was known.
Both were trivialized by manufacturers and parts of the industry.
And both have led to countless illnesses and deaths.
We are determined to break this cycle.
01
Regulatory Compliance
European law already demands action.
EU Directive 2004/37/EC obliges employers to apply the S.T.O.P. principle, with substitution as the primary measure.
The forthcoming REACH Regulation (ban of using Chromium(VI)-compounds) will formalize what ethics and science have long required and means a "de facto"-ban for using calcium-containing insulation material and systems
Waiting is not an option, but a legal and health risk.
02
Environmental Protection
Chromium(VI) compounds are classified H410
-
very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
Our philosophy ensures that contaminated waste is contained, not released.
No entry into wastewater.
No burden on the environment.
03
Safe Workplaces
We operate under Europe's strictest occupational exposure limits.
Our certified CORE experts work under full protective protocols, with exposure minimized to the lowest level technically achievable.
No shortcuts.
No compromise.
