A Word About Our Company
BioSol is a privately owned Canadian company dedicated to the research and development of safe, alternative cleaning technologies for industry. The Company was founded in 1994 following two years of studies which investigated the ever changing needs and wants of the industrial marketplace. Head office, manufacturing and central distribution facilities are located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

BioSol products are the result of doing things backwards. They were developed in the lab and field tested over the course of nearly 3 years before going to market in 1992. The current products represent the 8th generation of development. Each generation consists of 50 to 75 different formulations that were tested first in the lab, short-listed to the Top 3, then proven under practical field conditions by volunteer users in various industries. None were made available until we, and more importantly our test subjects, were convinced of their commercial value and viability.

Our Commitment To Quality
Our initial market studies began in March, 1992. Our conversations with workers in various industries across the country unveiled a growing impatience with so-called "green" products. Skepticism had bred a vigilant consumer who was quick to renounce a majority of product claims. They had a pre-existing notion that "friendly" cleaning products lacked the ability to work. Safety was synonymous with non-performance. Most agreed that environmental issues were important, but they had a job to do. That was the bottom line.

A trade-off existed between safety and performance. We took it upon ourselves to bridge the gap. Development of the first BioSol® product began in 1991. Our mission: "To develop a comprehensive line of chemical specialties that would perform as well as the hazardous substances they were designed to replace, without compromising environmental integrity or personnel safety."

The BioSol® and WORX™ product lines have evolved and expanded over the years with the feedback received from user-companies across Canada and the United States. Their input is just as important to us now as it ever was. And, by working closely with suppliers and regulators, we ensure that every BioSol® product continues to offer true advancements in operational safety.

The evolution of BioSol products is based on input from former users of hazardous substances. These we considered to be the best critics of a so-called safer alternative. Open forums regarding product performance gave us the information we needed to meet -- and often exceed -- their expectations. Ongoing research and development programs, coupled with user-satisfaction studies, assures the customer that BioSol products will continue to meet their ever-changing requirements.

People like BioSol products for what they are, AND for what they are not. They are not corrosive, not flammable, do not contain hazardous materials, yet they can clean more quickly and easily than many of their hazardous counterparts. Reliability, safety and versatility are the 3 keys to their widespread acceptance.

Our Commitment To You
Concern for environmental and personnel protection is our only business. Our entire product line consists exclusively of safer alternatives. Every BioSol® formulation is recognized by regulatory enforcement agencies as being non-hazardous and non-polluting. For that reason, our customers include those under close public and political scrutiny when it comes to their environmental standards of practice. We are proud to be the supplier of choice to companies - large and small - operating in the energy, forestry, mining, marine, waste management and manufacturing industries. Ongoing research programs and user-satisfaction polls are our assurance that BioSol® products will keep pace with a customer's ever-changing requirements.

Our Corporate Mission
"To help our customer avoid environmental hazards, health risks and corporate liability by providing them with the most highly evolved product technology available on the market."

We are committed to developing product alternatives that meet or exceed the customer's performance specifications, without causing harm to the user's health or the environment. Ongoing research programs will expand areas in which our customer is able to achieve the desired results without relying on hazardous substances.

Our Corporate Mandate
• To provide our customer the most advanced technology available on the market today.
• To develop products that deliver the performance qualities needed without compromising health and safety.
• To offer products that help companies reduce or eliminate the potential for environmental liability.
• To manufacture products that are competitively priced, cost efficient and help reduce labour costs.
• To deliver environmental responsible products that sustain or enhance our customer's Corporate Image.
• To demonstrate that Environmental Preservation and Economic Viability can go hand in hand.
• To respect the concept that "A Shared World is a Shared Responsibility".

Our Operational Philosophy
Sustainable Development requires that natural resources and other environmental assets be managed for the short-term benefit of our society, with long-term interests in mind. That means altering practices that lead to environmental problems. Our success will not be achieved at the expense of the planet or future generations. We believe that a shared world is a shared responsibility and will continue to do our part by designing technologies that directly support sustainable development.

The "Montreal Protocol" introduced in 1987 launched a worldwide phase-out in the production and use of ozone-depleting chemicals. The solvents and additives in BioSol products are not chlorinated, oxidize very rapidly, and as such have the very short atmospheric lifetime. This being the case, their ozone-depletion potential is zero. Further to that, the carbon atoms which evaporate from our solvents are used by vegetation as CO2 which means our products do not contribute to global warming. In groundsoil they readily biodegrade and are therefore not recognized as pollutants. You can find them on Transport Canada's Green Guide to "Environmentally Preferred Products" and are deemed safe by Alberta Environment and the United States EPA.

Increasing emphasis on employee safety standards and environmental legislation dictates the need for alternative products intended for industrial cleaning. Even in their concentrated form BioSol products have a very low order of acute oral and inhalation toxicity, and absolutely none of the ingredients are listed as carcinogens. Many will ask what BioSol products are made of. That question would require a proprietary answer. Instead, we can offer what is not in them and the list is plentiful: butyls, acids, caustic, distillates, fluorines, chlorides, bromines, phosphates, xylenes, nitriles, toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene, asphyxiants or any other components which can impair employee reaction time, workplace function and comfort.
