American Green Ventures Selects Dura Temp Corporation as its SpillFix Distributor for the North American Glassmakers Industry


Supplies hot ware handling solutions for glassmakers worldwide



CARY, N.C. – American Green Ventures, (US) Inc. is pleased to announce that it selected Dura Temp Corporation as its distributor for SpillFix® Industrial Organic Absorbent to the North American glassmakers industry.  SpillFix is made of 100 percent renewable organic material and instantly absorbs hazardous liquid spills on contact including oils, fuels, solvents, paints and chemicals, enabling faster, cleaner, safer and more effective clean up with minimal downtime.  Dura Temp supplies hot glassware handling solutions for glassmakers worldwide.



“We’re excited to be introducing a product into the glass industry that has superior health and safety benefits and a positive impact on the environment,” said Erica Jaspers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Dura Temp Corporation.  “In addition, the reduced amount of time and absorbent used to clean up an oil spill will provide a cost advantage to glass manufacturers.” 



SpillFix is made from a bi-product of the coconut (coir), which is an organic, renewable resource that is non-carcinogenic, contains no chemicals and is silica free.  When compared to clay-based absorbents, SpillFix clients need 80 percent less product to clean up spills in less than half the time.  SpillFix is dust-free, non-abrasive and there is no after residue often left with heavy sticky clay or absorbent pads.  SpillFix can be reused to clean up more than one spill due to its superior absorbency, further adding to its cost savings.  SpillFix is also landfill safe, providing lower disposal cost with no environmental impact.  Used SpillFix can also be used as a fuel source in incinerators.



Galuku Group Limited granted American Green Ventures, (US) Inc. the exclusive marketing and distribution rights for SpillFix in the North American market.  More information on SpillFix can be found at www.spillfix.com or by calling American Green Ventures in Cary, N.C. at 919-535-8278.  You can also follow SpillFix on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/SpillFix or Twitter at www.twitter.com/SpillFixUSA.
