What are petroleum-based solvents?
Also known as “solvent evaporatives”, petroleum-based solvents are significant contributors to smog, and create large volumes of hazardous waste. California´s South Coast Air Quality Management District has ordered approximately 32,000 Southern California businesses to stop using these high-polluting solvents. In 1999, businesses in Los Angeles and other surrounding areas had to switch from solvent evaporatives to water-based detergents and other less-polluting alternatives for cleaning metal parts and machinery. California tends to set the trend for legislation in the rest of the United States in this area. PowerGreen H2Pro is not a petroleum based solvent.
