Environmental Responsibility

Falcon Industrial embraces social and environmental sustainability.   Our corporate social responsibility pledge ensures our products environmental impacts are minimized though product life-cycle management.

Formulation and Design:

At the formulation and design stage, all Falcon products are engineered to use as little harmful additives as possible.   We avoid using volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, DCHA, formaldehyde releasing and other hazardous chemicals unless absolutely necessary.  Falcon is committed to compliance with OSHA, EPA and other applicable environmental regulations.

In addition, we are proactive in seeking environmentally friendly products, such as vegetable and renewable based materials, while controlling costs and performance for our customers.

Operation and Maintenance:

A critical component of Falcon’s product line is longevity.  Our products are engineered to achieve long sump lives and ward off attacks from biological contaminants.  Specialty additives help reject tramp oils and contamination from dirt/fines.  This ensures our customers maximize their fluid value.  Additionally, it makes our products ideal for coolant recycling programs.

As a further service to our customers, we are distributors for many types of fluid management and recycling equipment.  This type of equipment can save customers up to 30% annually on their fluid usage.  Please visit our equipment page, or contact your Falcon Industrial representative today.

Disposal: 

Waste oil disposal is a significant cost for any manufacturer.   Falcon Industrial carries specialty flocculants designed to break the emulsion of used water-soluble lubricants.   Resulting in a separation of the used oil from the water.  For example, if a customer is running at 20:1 dilution.  A used oil can be broken down to 5% oil, and the remaining 95% dirty water can be disposed through the normal waste water medium.    Allowing customers to minimize their waste oil disposal costs.

Recycling:

All of Falcon Industrial’s coolants are fully amenable to central recycling/reclaiming systems, in which the coolants are centrifuged, filtered, skimmed and treated with biocides if necessary.  These treated coolants may be reused after treatment, generally at a ratio of 50/50 with fresh coolant, providing the pH of the used coolant has not dropped below 7.5.  If this has happened, indicating acidic contamination of the coolant, the best recommendation would be to dispose of the coolant rather than contaminate a fresh batch and risk early rancidity.  If the decision is made to dispose of the coolant, use DuraBlend Flocculent 3.  A de-emulsifier type split procedure is recommended to separate the oil phase from the water portion.  Upon approval from the local wastewater treatment facility, the water phase may generally be sewered, with the oil phase being handled by an authorized waste oil reclaiming facility.
