Coatings

We replace harsh solvents and outdated cleaning processes with our safe, water-based solutions that reduce waste and protect both people and the planet.

Designed To Drive Real Benefit​

Improve safety, increase productivity, and protect the planet

Industrial coatings are, by nature of their protective purpose, resilient and notoriously difficult to clean from manufacturing vessels and infrastructure. Consequently, the industry has relied on traditional solvents which are extremely high in VOCs, a leading cause of ground level smog and the pollution of our planet. At a time when companies are trying to reduce waste, solvent-based cleaning produces significant volumes of emulsified waste which is harmful to remove and process. And when manufacturing equipment cannot be properly cleaned for reuse, it is disposed to landfill.

Terrafend is enabling international ink, paint, resin, and other coating manufacturers to remove hydrocarbon solvents, caustic solutions, and heated chemicals from their cleaning processes. The result? Reduced workplace risk, increased productivity, and a cleaner planet.
