As one of the world's leading manufacturers of chemical maintenance products, CRC has made a

commitment to provide the best solution for our customers. CRC can help you meet the challenges of today's

highly regulated environment by offering a full line of specialty chemical products custom-matched to meet ev-

ery application need. Again and again, more professionals look to CRC for quality products and innovativesolutions. They demand meaningful information. They demand problem solving skills. They demand CRC.

CRC continues to introduce innovative new products to meet the needs

of our customers in the maintenance chemicals market. CRC is the only

company in the industry to offer the MSD[L] - a Material Safet Data

Sheet printed on the reverse side of the product label. The patented label

provides the MSDS where you need it most, right on the aero-

sol can. This instant source of disposal and rst aid information helps to

promote a better worker safety environment. This facilitates compli-

ance with OSHA regulations and insures you have the current and prop-

er MSDS for the components in that can. The MSD[L] helps meet

on-site inspection requirements, as the MSDS is always available, even in remote

locations and it eases the burden and cost of maintaining MSDS les, and the

responsibility to ship them with each order. Of course, the information that

starts with our label never stops. Just call our toll-free technical service line

(800) 521-3168 or visit our website, www.crcindustries.com/ei

The quality of our information is matched by the quality of our products.

As an ISO-9001:2000 certied manufacturer, CRC places strict controls

on every step of our product development and manufacturing process;

starting with the nest raw materials and continuing with our consistent, quality

manufacturing techniques.

In addition to quality products and technical expertise, CRC offers problem solving skills. CRC has

designed a program specically to save money and hassle on the acquisition, use and disposal of

maintenance chemicals. Our award winning Risk Reduction Partnership Program will help identify and sort out

the confusing cost generators. By combining resources to minimize MRO chemical total ownership costs, CRC achieves

maximum regulatory compliance while creating signicant value. This includes helping to 'green' the work place

environment by identifying Environmentall Preferred Products for your application needs.

CRCs SmartWasherParts Cleaning System

A timely alternative to conventional petroleum-based solvent parts washers.SMARTWASHER is a self-contained, self-cleaning system that is completely safe,non-toxic and generates no hazardous waste-without compromising cleaning ability.SMARTWASHER uses the process of bioremediation the accelerated break down oforganic compounds such as grease, grime, varnish, oil, carbon and other heavy industrialsoils through the use of nonpathogenic microbes. The microbes, suspended in fluid thatrecirculates through the unit, literally eat their way through soils, converting them intoharmless water and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The solution remains clean and usable,

unlike traditional solvent-based systems where the solution becomes dirty and lesseffective over time. Disposal becomes a non-issue, as hazardous waste streams areeliminated. This process is non-hazardous, non-caustic, VOC free, non-flammableand does away with the need for regulatory paperwork.

The SMARTWASHER System consists of a sturdy, impact resistant, self-containedwashing unit with a flexible nozzle and brush that direct warmed cleaning fluid for partswashing. The fluid works in conjunction with a special microbe impregnated filter toeffectively clean the dirtiest parts. Both units require 5 gallons ofSMARTWASHERfluid and one filter for start-up.

AEROSOLS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The aerosol package is a safe, economical and environmentally friendly container for delivering product.

Safe - since materials contained in an aerosol container will not spill, or become contaminated in transfer, and

will perform in a variety of environments including shipping and use. Economical - since the container is

ready to use and requires no additional measuring, pouring or mixing prior to use. Aerosol cans also contain an

average of 25% recycled content which helps keep their cost down. Environmentall Friendl - since the

containers are 100% recyclable. With a proper aerosol management program, users can minimize or eliminate

a waste stream by recycling the cans, and re-using any residual content left after use.

Other Aerosol Facts -

Aerosols do not use chlorouorocarbon (CFC) propellants

n Tis has been true or more than 25 years

An empty aerosol container is not considered hazardous waste

n Drain all contents and vent propellant

n Systems are available to saely vent propellants and capture residual

product- possibly or re-use

Aerosol Cans are 100% recyclable

n Tis is the desired method o disposal

n Recycling minimizes disposal costs and

can be an economic beneft!

Aerosol products are very cost efective

n Te cost per ounce o readily useable product is very competitive

n raditional bulk products may require mixing, transerring and labeling

beore use which adds to the cost

Aerosol products are Sae

n When stored, handled and disposed o properly, an aerosol can is one o the

saest delivery methods available today
