Another step!

They are cool guys that can manage the strong cold and slippery ice.

Estonia

It was some years ago I was in Estonia. My feelings for this country is that it is very alike Finland in many ways.

I have been visiting an Estonian company that is operating in their market selling solutions to purify waste and drink water.

They are doing quite well

Now they decided to join the Lahega family and we welcome them, all of us!

Veepuhastuse OÜ is given the Estonian market a opportunity to make an environmental choice in the truck- & carwashes business

We have some challenges ahead but I’m confident that we shall succeed.

Inserting Carsoft 343 into the washing system this type of brushes will be clean in a short period of time.

They are still into cleaning cars in the touchless way with varying results. Autosafe 500 will probably do some use here if it fits in to the BioClean water recycling system.

And yes it was plenty of snow in Estonia…=)

With a solid core business growth, upcoming product launches, new achievements in Europe as well as collaborative projects with major customers, we build to manage growing volumes.

The new building is scheduled in July 2010 with hopefully a warmer climate than in the picture.

The new warehouse is 6300 m2 and a capacity of about 9000 pallets ad on to our all ready existing 6500 m2 and 3600 pallet places.

Car Wash harmful to your teeth!

 In a report from the Sahlgrenska Hospital, we read that there is a risk of dental injuries if you work with car wash and car care.
 
  That acid can corrode the enamel have been known for a long time, but now a new study from the Sahlgrenska Academy also determine that strongly alkaline substances can damage teeth.

 

Subjects with high pH can include destroying the plaque so enamel becomes more vulnerable.
 

The study was conducted at the Department of Work and Environmental Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy and published in the scientific journal Journal of Dentistry.
 

- The study also shows that alkaline substances are harmful to the teeth, but the injury process is different compared to the exposure of acidic drinks or acid vapors in the industry, “said Fabian Taube, occupational hygienic and one of the researchers behind the study.
 

There were no cases of occupational injuries in the car wash and reconditioning, which attracted scientists’ interest. Common to all cases was the exposure of an alkaline degreasing agent that was sprayed on parts of cars. Product proved to have a pH of between 12 and 14, and is very alkaline.
  – Exposure to this medium led to tooth enamel surface was damaged and peeling away. The type of injury makes the risk of tooth decay and other dental injuries increases significantly, “says Jörgen Norén, the dentist and professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy.
  The alkaline degreasing agent used primarily in the food industry, including the cleaning of kitchens, but are also common in the car care industry.
  – Occupational Injuries in the teeth from exposure to alkaline medium is probably not as common as the damage caused by the acidic medium, but it becomes a problem when employers do not inform about the risks or do not provide access to the right protective equipment, “says Fabian Taube.
  The study suffered prolonged teeth for degreasing and other basic solutions. Enamel samples was subsequently examined by scanning electron microscopy and various spectroscopic methods. The researchers note that the rapid dissolution of organic material on the tooth surface, such as plaque.

 

The results suggest that although the organic components of enamel affected by exposure, as the enamel becomes more porous.
  – However, we have been able to show that the basic means changing the composition of the minerals that make up the bulk of enamel. Thus differs from the effects arising from exposure to acids, “says Fabian Taube.
  The study has been supported by, inter alia, Research Council for Working Life and Social Sciences (FAS) and Magnus Berg Walls Foundation
