WHY should I use Environmentally friendly paint stripper instead of methylene Chloride?
Switching from methylene chloride to benzyl alcohol paint stripping will decrease a facilitys HAP emissions which will decrease the possibility that a facility will meet the HAP emissions threshold for an air permit under 40 CFR 70 and 71. Reducing HAP emissions may also help a facility to comply with the requirements of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) (40 CFR 63).
