PRESS RELEASE
TRUDEC Ltd. TO RECOMMEND "HEGOL" & "HEGFLOOR" FOR CLEANING OIL SPILLS FROM INDUSTRIAL and COMMERCIAL FLOORING
February 1998Trudec, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of heavy-duty anti-slip plastic flooring, will be recommending to customers that for spills of fuel and of lubricating, hydraulic and cutting oils on their Trudec flooring they should use Hegfloor and Hegol for absorption and cleansing. Trudec has chosen these non-abrasive and safe biodegradable materials as the best to help ensure the safety of an anti-slip surface and to cut fumes at work.
John Howard, Managing Director of Trudec Ltd., said: "Trudec provides state-of-the art anti-slip flooring which is extremely tough and impervious to liquids. Oil spills, while they will not damage Trudec flooring itself, obviously create slip and air quality hazards and disposal problems. Good workshop practice dictates that these are dealt with immediately and in an environmentally friendly way. The "Heg" products enable this to be done easily, since they clean and absorb safely, simply, and effectively. Too many companies are still using harsh solvents or abrasive granular absorbents for these purposes. We hope our customers will make the change to better products in their long-term maintenance strategies for Trudec floors".
Commenting on the Trudec's decision, Richard Genochio, Managing Director of Oil Cleaning Bio-Products Ltd. which supplies the "Heg" products, said: "This is a very pleasing move by Trudec. Trudec floors and our products are both to do with health and safety at work - and therefore with business efficiency. Trudec will be supplying all their customers with samples of Hegol and Hegfloor and we are sure that many of them will be quick to become regular users".
