TEKNEK ANNOUNCES STEP CHANGE IN CONTACT CLEANING TECHNOLOGY

Teknek, the global leader in contact cleaning and yield improvement technology, has announced another market leading innovation with its new patent pending* EcoFilm Product.

The Teknek contact cleaning process uses sheeted adhesive rolls, which once consumed, have to be disposed of.  After extensive research and testing Teknek is now ready to release its new EcoFilm adhesive rolls.

EcoFilm product is the first Oxydegradable clean machine adhesive roll to be available on the market. It retains all the benefits of the Teknek Nanocleen+ adhesive roll (silicone free, static dissipation, extra wide format, slant cut ) plus the added advantage of being “green”. Sheila Hamilton, Teknek’s technical director said: “The main challenge was to develop a film that lasts long enough to meet the process needs, yet will degrade easily when it comes to disposal.”

She added: “As a company, Teknek has consistently implemented environmental and sustainable practices throughout our manufacturing and production processes.  We hope this latest initiative will help our customers to achieve their own environmental goals.”

Ruaridh Nicolson, sales and marketing manager, Teknek said: “Innovation is central to what we do.  In the past year alone we have launched nine new products including the market-leading Nanocleen and Ultracleen ranges which offer unparalleled cleaning performance.  The Eco range is a prime example of how we constantly look for ways of adding value to our customer offering

The EcoFilm complies with the standard ASTM D 6954-04

* Application number WO GB10/051056
