KYZEN Offers Cleaning Alternatives in Anticipation of EPA Guideline Updates
April 20, 2022 | KYZEN'Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries prides themselves on putting customers first. Whether that is creating the highest quality products, providing top-notch accessibility and assistance, or maintaining an understanding of industry changes, KYZEN has you covered. They are constantly focused on developing the best products and strategies to achieve customer cleaning goals.
A recent potential change that KYZEN has been working diligently to get ahead of is possible traditional solvent removals. In 2020, the EPA under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) issued “Risk Evaluation Reports” for several traditional degreasing solvents including TCE, nPB, Perc and MC. These reports indicated potential health risks to workers and recommended that action be taken to find replacements.
The new guidelines from the EPA are due in two years from official release dates meaning the time is happening now in 2022. They also must release a final ruling that may either restrict or ban the use of these solvents. The time is now to begin preparation and get ahead of these changes. KYZEN has done just that by offering customers alternatives for various industries such as vacuum degreasing alternatives, aqueous cleaning agents, industrial and electronics vapor degreasing alternatives.

It’s Only Common Sense: If You’re Not Differentiated, You’re Dead
10/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense“Good enough” is not good enough in business. Not anymore. “Good enough” is a death sentence in today’s market. Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes. Everyone has them. If you think that’s your differentiator, you’re already in the grave; you just don’t know it.

Standard of Excellence: Overcoming Service Failures—The Art of the Apology
10/08/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceNo matter how refined the processes, how seasoned the team, or how sophisticated the technology, mistakes happen in business. A shipment goes out late. A part doesn’t meet spec. A miscommunication causes frustration. It’s the part of customer service that no one likes to talk about, but every company must master how to respond when things go wrong.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
