Low Odor Binder System Improves Neighbor Relations 低刺激性粘接剂系统降低了对周边环境的影响
It wasn’t long after Morel Industries, Seattle, USA,
moved into its new facility in 2008 that complaints about odor began filtering in from nearby residents. After the metalcaster switched to ASK Chemical’s low-odor nobake binder system Pep Set Quantum 4140/6140, the same resi- dents congratulated the company for being a good neighbor. When owners Steve and Mark Morel first heard the
complaints, they contacted local environmental and business agencies to find ways to reduce or eliminate the odor. “We took every complaint seriously,” Steve Morel said.
“We shut all our doors and put in a dilution fan.” While the fan helped to a degree, the neighbors reported
they could still smell the odor. “It really came to a head in mid-September of 2008,”
Morel said. “We had to do something.” Te company’s binder supplier told the Morel broth- ers about ASK’s new Quantum series of binders, which is designed to have a low odor at mixing and pouring, as well as low smoke generation during pouring, while maintaining the tensile strength of traditional Pep Set binders. According to ASK, the system provides the lowest generation of hazardous air pollutants of any current Pep Set binder system, has unde- tectable free formaldehyde and is a low free phenol system. Morel Industries poured its first trial molds with the
Quantum binder on Oct.1, 2008, side by side with molds produced with the Pep Set binder it had been using for eight years. Representatives from Puget Sound Clean Air Agency also were present to witness the results. “We noticed a significant difference in odor and smoke
right away,” Morel said. “It was night and day.” According to Morel, while the new binder greatly affected
even further.” ■ Visit

the working environment, production was nearly unchanged. “Since 2008, [ASK] has reformulated the binder,” he said. “And it has reduced odor and smoke generation
2008年Morel莫雷尔工业公司刚搬到新的地方就遭 到了当地居民的一致抱怨，要求对刺激性气体进行过 滤。自从该公司使用了ASK低刺激性自硬粘接剂系统配 比标准4140/6140，这些居民给予了很高的评价。 当Steve 和 Mark Morel第一次听到了抱怨，就立 即联系当地环境和商业代理去寻找减少刺激性气体排 放的方法。他们表示“我们很看重当地居民的反应， 我们关掉所有的门并且进行吹风稀释”。 风扇起到了一定作用，然而当地的人报告说仍然能 闻到气味。到了2008年9月份中旬我们才真正做到了 这点。
公司的粘接剂供应商告诉莫雷尔兄弟关于ASK新配 比标准，这项标准是在保持粘接剂强的的同时降低混 砂和浇注时产生的低刺激性气味以及浇注过程中产生 的烟尘。根据ASK标准，该系统能够保障在现有的粘接 剂系统中产生最低的有害污染物，并且降低游离性甲 醛和游离性酚的存在。
莫雷尔工业公司在2008年10月1日做了第一次 尝试，同时使用了8年的标准进行生产。普加特 （Puget）海湾空气清洁机构的代表也出席作证。 Morel说：“我们观察到刺激性气味和烟尘得到了 明显改善，一个白天一个黑夜”。 根据Morel，随着新的粘接剂很大程度上改善了工 作环境，然而产品质量仍然很好。
他说：“自从2008年，ASK重新定义了粘接剂的配 比标准，从此降低了刺激性气味以及烟尘的产生。” ■ 登陆
