Their customers include companies from various industry sectors situated worldwide, such as the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, the automotive industry, aviation, metalworking, printing and packaging, marine, waste management, and transportation businesses. In addition, WVT is also supplier to many ‘Private Label’ customers in the Tissue Industry. WVT Industries provides customers with a broad range of safe and ecologically sound industrial cleaning products. Its product range is composed of over 650 items, varying from acids to strong alkaline cleaners. Additionally the company is able to respond to customer requests by developing specific cleaning chemicals to solve particular cleaning problems.
WVT INDUSTRIES ATTACHES MAJOR IMPORTANCE TO THE ENVIRONMENT and endeavors to ensure that its activities have the least possible impact in that respect. To achieve this aim, it ensures that all of its products are biologically degradable and bio-ergonomic. For the production of all its detergents, WVT applies state-of-the-art technologies, using sophisticated software that controls the accurate mixture of ingredients and the production line, where they can monitor production step-by-step, assuring that each recipe receives exactly the correct amount. Automatic processing reduces human intervention to a minimum.
THE USE OF THIS TECHNIQUE enables the company to adapt the detergent formulas to the customer’s needs and allows WVT to take into account important factors such as the nature of the pollution that has to be removed, the cleaning techniques and the ergonomic and environmental aspects. After receiving contaminated raw materials sent by their customers, the Research & Development laboratory analyzes important parameters like the nature of the contamination, the cleaning method currently used (circulation, high pressure, etc), possibilities surrounding temperatures, human parameters like whether protective gloves or other safety measures are permitted, the nature of the company (paper industry, printing, tissue converting, packaging, etc). With these parameters, WVT can quickly produce a tailored solution for the customer.
FOR THE TISSUE INDUSTRY, in the past few years WVT has developed a 100% water based product, Waterlube®, specially designed for use during the production of tissue toilet rolls and kitchen towel products in the tissue converting industry. It is designed to replace the use of mineral oil lubricants which have been traditionally used to avoid the build-up of glues on the steel rolls used in the lamination process with steel-to-steel-rolls, pin-to-pin, nested, micro-deco, micro-macro, perf and fan. The formulation is non-corrosive and will not damage surrounding surfaces or equipment. The product can be applied by spray, brush or felt applied in-line during the production process in an undiluted form, guaranteeing a lower consumption with a savings of up to 30% compared to a comparable mineral lubricant.
TECHNICALLY, WATERLUBE® BENEFITS THE CUSTOMER AS IT HAS A NEUTRAL PH and is completely soluble in water; it has no flash point and it eliminates the possibility of friction fires generated by the process.Furthermore, it also has a food-grade approved formulation, therefore pursuant to today’s legal regulations. From ordinary everyday to the most complex cleaning solutions, WVT supplies customers with a package of chemical cleaning options so converters can focus on their own core business. *
