Let's face it—nobody wants to destroy the environment.  But the management of a successful, profitable business brings plenty of concerns to most printers.  The choice of a press wash should not add to the difficulties of pressroom management.  Therefore, many printers understandably question the need to switch to environmentally friendly pressroom chemicals.  Aside from the obvious ecological benefits of using natural, biodegradable materials, there are several other reasons why it is indeed in the printer's best interest to use a product such as Tersus Clean in place of traditional petroleum-based chemicals.

Pollution is a problem because human industry practices chemistry differently than Nature does.  Chemical compounds that are toxic to plants, animals, and microorganisms in the soil and water are generally just as dangerous to humans.  Many traditional press washes contain chemicals that are toxic for humans to breathe, touch, and consume.  A few such compounds that often appear in press washes are xylene, benzene, naphthalene, and trimethylbenzene.  Acute health problems do not always appear, because pressmen are usually only exposed to such compounds occasionally and in small quantities.  Nonetheless, long-term exposure to these chemicals can lead to serious health issues.

Renewable resources are the way of the future, and are the reasonable, sustainable alternative to petrochemicals.  Tersus Chemical Group, Inc. is leading the printing industry into a sustainable future through the development of pressroom chemicals that are produced entirely from renewable resources. 

Because of the unique nature of the technology involved in extracting and processing high-quality solvent compounds from natural resources, the biosolvent industry is one that cannot be easily outsourced or imported from other countries where manufacturers exploit child labor and wage slavery to reduce costs.  All ingredients in Tersus Chemical products are produced by American labor in the United States.  We use only the highest quality ingredients to make the highest quality products—right here in the USA.

In many industries, eco-friendly replacements to traditional products and methods results in either reduced quality and efficiency or drastically increased costs.  Businesses are therefore forced to either sacrifice their profitability, or harm the environment.  With Tersus Chemical products, there is no such choice to be made.  Numerous tests have proven our Delta Clean products to work as well, if not better, than traditional petroleum-based washes.  If you remain skeptical, we understand, and therefore invite you to request a FREE sample of our products to test for yourself.
