The Blumenthal family, owners of Radiator Specialty Company (RSC) and Blumenthal Holdings LLC, have formed a new company – RSC Bio Solutions, LLC – that manufactures and distributes non-hazardous, biobased cleaning, degreasing and lubricating products for applications where both high performance and safety are essential, the company said.
RSC Bio Solutions said it has already partnered with Gemtek Products LLC and Terresolve Technologies Ltd. Through the Gemtek partnership, RSC is now the exclusive North American distributor of Gemtek’s Safe Care cleaners, degreasers and solvents for the industrial market. The Terresolve partnership involves an investment of growth capital and a minority ownership in the company. In addition, the Terresolve EnviroLogic brand of industrial lubricants is now available to RSC customers.
“With these two partnerships, RSC now offers the most complete line of powerful, industrial chemical products. In early 2011, we are launching biobased versions of our trusted Liquid Wrench and Gunk industrial products that will be ‘Powered by Safe Care’” said Mike Guggenheimer, vice president of business development for RSC Bio Solutions. “We see the demand for safe, environmentally responsible products growing by the day, and our new division is well-positioned to bring the same type of leadership that RSC is already well-known for to this part of the market.”
Gemtek’s Safe Care products comply with OSHA, SARA, SNAP, USEPA and USDA regulations and many have achieved the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) designation. The products serve a variety of markets including petroleum, waste management, municipal/utility fleets, airport operations and manufacturing.
With more than 50 different applications and a 15-year track record, the Terresolve EnviroLogic brand offers a wide variety of biodegradable products, from hydraulic fluids and gear oils to farm fluids and engine oils, which have been tested and proven in some of the toughest environments possible, according to RSC. Terresolve currently serves the offshore marine, marine transport, turf/golf course maintenance, clean energy and fleet markets.
