EnviroTech Europe

What EnviroTech Europe does

EnviroTech Europe Ltd is a privately-held UK specialty chemical manufacturer and distributor headquartered in Woking, Surrey, with a registered office in Esher. Founded around 2001 and operating in vapour degreasing and precision cleaning chemistry for over 30 years, the company supplies industrial solvents, corrosion protection compounds, and water-based cleaning systems to manufacturers across aerospace, medical device, electronics, marine, military, automotive, railway, power generation, and other regulated industrial sectors. The core product platform centres on the ProSolv family of vapour degreasing solvents — including a full SKU-by-SKU replacement line for the discontinued 3M Novec Engineered Fluids and the next-generation PFAS-free ProSolv 5408e (zero ODP, GWP below 1) — alongside the Clarea non-chlorinated solvent cleaners, Aquus CL-One water-based surfactant cleaner, and SuperCORR A corrosion protection lubricant qualified to Mil-L-87177A for aircraft maintenance.

The company manufactures in the United Kingdom and sells through a worldwide network of qualified distributors, with direct technical sales support including free on-site visits, cleaning trials, and consultation. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and the revenue model is one-time purchase of consumable chemistry rather than subscription or licensing. The company is accredited to ISO 9001:2015 and holds a NATO Cage Code (U0H05), signalling participation in defence supply chains.

The business is currently positioned to capture share vacated by the end-2025 phase-out of 3M Novec Engineered Fluids and the broader regulatory pressure on PFAS and nPB chemistries. The March 2026 appointment as Official UK Distributor for Richard Geiss GmbH has extended the product range into perchloroethylene and modified alcohol surface cleaning products, including textile cleaning applications. Despite a lean operating structure of 1–10 employees, EnviroTech has sustained active product launches through 2025–2026 and operates without external private equity or venture capital backing, indicating a self-funded, founder-managed specialty chemical distribution and light-manufacturing model.

Core offering

EnviroTech Europe manufactures and supplies industrial vapour degreasing solvents, corrosion protection compounds, and water-based cleaning solutions used for precision cleaning and surface treatment. The company offers direct drop-in replacements for 3M Novec Engineered Fluids and PFAS-free next-generation solvent formulations. Products are manufactured in the United Kingdom and distributed worldwide through a qualified distributor network, serving aerospace, medical device, electronics, automotive, military, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Product overview

EnviroTech Europe provides a comprehensive portfolio of industrial cleaning and corrosion protection solutions, primarily organized around three core product lines: (1) Vapour Degreasing Solvents including the next-generation PFAS-free ProSolv 5408e and a complete range of 3M Novec direct replacements (ProSolv 71/72 TDE/TDA, ProSolv 4508e, ProSolv IPA, ProSolv HFE 71/72), along with co-solvents (Topklean EL20A) and specialized solvents (ProSolv PCE, EnSolv CC-A, RG CLEANER 63); (2) Non-chlorinated Industrial Solvent Cleaners under the Clarea brand (HC40, HC62, HC96) plus water-based cleaning with Aquus CL-One surfactant system; (3) Corrosion Protection led by SuperCORR A advanced lubricant meeting Mil-L-87177A specification. The portfolio is complemented by GEISS perchloroethylene products from Richard Geiss GmbH (for which ETE is Official UK Distributor), vapour degreasing equipment (Solvac S2), and raw chemicals (trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene). Products serve diverse industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical devices, marine, military, railways, and power generation. All products are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Direct peers

• 3M: Former incumbent supplier of Novec Engineered Fluids — the product family EnviroTech Europe's ProSolv range directly replaces. 3M's December 2025 PFAS exit is the central demand catalyst for EnviroTech, making 3M the most directly comparable peer despite its withdrawal.
• Chemours: Spun off from DuPont and a major producer of fluorinated specialty solvents and refrigerants (Opteon, Freon). Competes head-to-head in fluorinated vapour degreasing and is a likely beneficiary of any post-3M PFAS reshuffle, directly comparable to EnviroTech's ProSolv fluorinated range.
• Petroferm: US-based specialty formulator focused on vapour degreasing and aqueous precision cleaning chemistries (e.g., Bioact, Lenium). Closely comparable niche specialist competing for the same precision-cleaning customers.
• Walter Surface Technologies: Specialist in metal surface treatment, cleaners and corrosion protection products for industrial and maintenance end markets. Comparable as a focused mid-sized supplier of cleaners and corrosion protectants.
• Richard Geiss GmbH: German specialist in recycled and high-purity solvents for surface and textile cleaning. Currently a partner (EnviroTech is its Official UK Distributor), and a comparable niche player in sustainable industrial solvent cleaning.
• Miller-Stephenson Chemical: Specialty chemical formulator of industrial solvents, fluxes and cleaning chemistries for electronics, aerospace and precision manufacturing. Comparable as a focused mid-market alternative in industrial solvent cleaning.

Broad incumbents

• Henkel: Global specialty chemicals incumbent with an industrial cleaning portfolio (Bonderite, Loctite) covering metal pretreatment and precision cleaning. Comparable as a broad industrial cleaning supplier serving similar aerospace/automotive/electronics customers, though not specialised in vapour degreasing.
• BASF: Largest global chemical company with industrial cleaning, surface treatment and corrosion protection product lines serving the same end markets (automotive, aerospace, electronics). Competes in solvent and aqueous cleaning chemistries at scale.
• DuPont: Specialty chemicals incumbent with historic strength in fluorinated chemistries (now Chemours) and broad industrial cleaning/surface treatment offerings. Comparable as a large multi-line supplier in precision cleaning and electronics-grade chemistries.
• Solvay: Belgian specialty chemicals group with materials for electronics, automotive and aerospace, including surface treatment chemistries. A likely scaled competitor moving into the vacated 3M Novec space.
