A STEP-CHANGE IN VALUE
SAFE SOLVENTS
Safe Solvents granted UK patent for revolutionary
parts and process cleaning method
Environmental technology business, Safe
Solvents Europe Ltd has successfully
patented its propriety Ambimization®
method for process and parts cleaning, as
of January 2020.
Ambimization® provides businesses with a
viable alternative to the use of hydrocarbon
solvents, heated and caustic detergents.
These substances have traditionally
been used across all process and parts
cleaning, but which today are at odds with
the corporate values of employee safety,
sustainability and productivity.
In contrast, Ambimization® uses water-
based fluids that work at ambient
temperature, are non-flammable, non-
carcinogenic and have a Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC) level of just 6.5%. As
Ambimization® does not require fluids to

solvent market.
be heated, it also prevents emulsification
which, when coupled with the fluid’s natural
splitting properties, drastically reduces the
volume and cost of waste disposal.
Safe Solvents’ Founder and CTO, Tom
Sands, comments: “Ambimization®
delivers a step-change in value for
businesses undertaking de-greasing,
component cleaning, parts washing and
surface treatment. Not only does it de-
risk a number of traditionally hazardous
applications, but it can facilitate operational
change, driving gains in productivity.”
He continues: “These operational benefits
are unique to Ambimization®. As such, it
has the potential to be a major disruptor
of the traditional solvent market. We
are delighted therefore this proprietary
methodology is now protected by UK
patent.”
Ambimization® is suitable for the removal
of many forms of surface contamination,
from oil, paint and ink to highly carbonised
metals. The method is compatible with a
range of proprietary machinery, while the
fluid is also available as part of a fluid-only
contract for applications that require in-situ
cleaning.
