Is the Phygen process environmentally safe?
Phygen’s patented process begins with a substrate cleaning using an EPA- and OSHA-approved aqueous solvent bath. Parts are cleaned in an efficient closed-loop cleaning line that includes a hard-piped vapor recovery system to capture and return vapor emissions. To reduce chemical use to an absolute minimum, final substrate cleaning is performed electronically, with no emissions. Finally, the FortiPhy coating is applied electronically within a vacuum chamber, producing no toxic byproducts and releasing nothing into the atmosphere. The final product, a FortiPhy ultra-endurance coating, is inert, safe, and approved for food contact.
