Walter International Newsletter 2015
Walter Surface Technologies, a leading provider of surface treatment technologies for more than 60 years, is encouraging machine shops and fabricators to utilize the SURFOX Smart Passivation Tester, a new “passivation” tool and a component of its SURFOX™ electrochemical cleaning system, to analyze passivation levels in stainless steel. The tool includes a cloud-based app that can be managed via smartphone, which measures chemical levels to determine the degree of passivation in which the stainless steel item (e.g., in mixing tanks or drums) is currently contained. In 2012, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States adopted the new Global Harmonized System (GHS) legislation created by the United Nations. This legislation is a standardization of classifications and hazards related to chemicals in the workplace. Mexico has voluntarily adopted the GHS standardizations set by the United Nations as well in order to facilitate the trades between countries. As of June 2015, all chemical products in the United States and Mexico must meet GHS requirements. The West Island of Montreal Chamber of Commerce selected Walter for the Business of the Year Award for continuing its mission to promote the economic well-being of the Montreal business community and its involvement in regional and national business issues and activities. The company also takes a leadership role in environmental sustainability in the community with a modern head office and manufacturing facility that is ISO certified and 100% LEED GOLD certified. The Bio-Circle Cleaner Selector app is designed to help workers in MRO environments quickly and easily select the right product for the application at hand. Select the contaminant you are cleaning, the parent material, size of the part or surface and preferred cleaning method and the app will generate a product recommendation. Our mission is to contribute to our customer's success by helping them work better. The day of working with toxic solvents is over - welcome to a new generation of industrial cleaning!
