Some water is necessary to remove water-soluble soil from garments. However, unless this moisture is under control, it can do more harm than good. EVEREST controls moisture by solubilizing it, thus allowing a safe exchange of water between the fabric and charged solvent which is necessary to flush away water-soluble soils.
A buildup of bacteria in your drycleaning system can cause unpleasant solvent and garment odors. Bacteria lives and breeds in free moisture and feeds on the hydrocarbon solvent and impurities contained in it. EVEREST controls free moisture, thus eliminating the breeding ground for odor causing bacteria.
Cleaning with hydrocarbon solvent requires extended cleaning cycles as compared to perchloroethylene cleaning. Therefore, garments are exposed to insoluble soils over a longer period of time. EVEREST keeps this soil from redepositing, resulting in consistently cleaner looking garments.
Few things are more frustrating than garments clinging together when unloading the wheel. When used as directed, EVEREST helps eliminate static generated in the wheel, so garments come out static-free. Clothes are easier to handle when pressed, and customers appreciate the absence of static cling.
Where there is static, there is lint. By eliminating static, garments are less likely to attract lint in the wheel or when moving through the plant. As a result, you’ll save time and labor in manual lint removal, and your customers will enjoy garments that resist attracting lint.
EVEREST is free of aromatic solvents commonly found in traditional petroleum detergents. EVEREST’s virtually odorless formulation does not change or alter the original smell of odorless solvent in use.
EVEREST’s flash point is over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, well beyond that of high flash point solvents used for drycleaning.
