Worker Safety and Environment
MaxFlo® products contain less than 1% of crystalline silica (avg.), the Majority of which is non-respirable. This is a significant advantage for worker safety compared with products with 10% to 80% crystalline silica content. In addition, MaxFlo® products are made from renewable resources and are generated as part of a highly sustainable, agricultural-based production cycle. The products not only help in the filtration and proper disposal of industrial waste products, but are themselves part of the environmental solution, not the problem.
