products and services LAMP RECYCLING The Bulb Eater from Air Cycle was named a “2012 Money-Saving Product” by Buildings magazine. The Bulb Eater, which can reduce lamp recycling costs by 50 percent or more, holds up to 1,350 four-foot fluorescent lamps in one 55-gallon drum, effectively reducing storage space requirements for the same quantity of boxed lamps by 80 percent. It can crush four-foot fluorescent lamps in 1 second, and the crushed material is 100 percent recy-clable. Because the process captures over 99.99 percent of mercury vapors, it is compliant with both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). FLOOR FINISH Clarion from Buckeye, a metal interlock no-buff floor finish, maintains its high gloss with minimal maintenance. Clarion is an extremely durable floor finish that is ideal when there is limited equipment or manpower for a buffing program. Clarion is versatile and may be used on all porous floors. The real benefit of using Clarion is the peace of mind you get because you are not compromising features despite using a low-maintenance floor finish. See for yourself and try Clarion today.

With a compact, eas-ily maneuverable design and a 16-inch or 18-inch cleaning path, the new extractors are ideal for a variety of cleaning challenges. Single deflector spray jet technology provides even, consistent water and chemical coverage across the cleaning path, while an aerodynamically designed vacuum shoe removes excess water for faster drying times. All Clean Track models have achieved Seal of Approval (SOA) certification from the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI). BLEACH DISINFECTANT Deardorff Fitzsimmons Corporation received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval of its Activate bleach to kill Clostridium difficile (C. diff) spores in four minutes, an apprecia-bly faster contact time than those of leading hospital-grade disinfectants on the market today. A one-step cleaner and disinfectant effective against many germs that cause healthcare-asso-ciated infections, such as methicillan-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomy-cin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Activate bleach is appropriate for disinfecting hard surfaces. Helping with wastre reduction, one Activate bleach dilution sprayer and 12 compact 11-ounce car-tridges is equivalent to 38 separate spray bottles containing 32 ounces of ready-to-use disinfectant.

It can measure sur-face moisture and moisture below a surface, as well as acting as a hygrometer to measure ambient air humidity. The addition of an infrared thermometer allows the difference between dew point and surface temperature to be calculated, as well as a wide range of other important psy-chometric parameters. With a full color user interface, the new instrument will help building pro-fessionals assess moisture levels during new build and refurbishing activities and assist in the diagnoses of moisture-related problems in existing buildings. HAND CLEANER Permatex has introduced a new formulation for Fast Orange, its most popular hand cleaner line. Permatex Fast Orange now incorpo-rates MircroGel technology, an innovative polymer emulsion synthetic solvent that eliminates the need for citrus or petroleum-based solvents, while continuing to deliver effective cleaning power. Fast Orange with MicroGel feels smoother, is gentler on the skin and has a consistency that adheres better to the hands, reducing the amount of product needed to get the job done. Fast Orange with MicroGel meets the more stringent volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that go into effect in 2013.
