As many readers will be aware, there has been plenty of talk and press coverage recently regarding the solvent, n-propyl bromide (NPB) and preparations which use it. As I am not a chemist, its not for me to pass comment on the technical aspects of this solvent. However, there are two interesting public documents available, which shed light on the potential and actual risks presented by this solvent. I will leave to you to draw your own conclusions.
However, when reaching that decision, why not visit our showrooms and see for yourself how efficient, emission, odour-free and safe component cleaning can be.

Cutting Edge Cleanliness.
Deep in the heart of Switzerland, Victorinox has been manufacturing its world-famous Victorinox quality knife at its site in Ibach since 1884. It all started with a small craft workshop founded there in the Canton of Schwyz by Karl Elsener.
For over 100 years, the Swiss Army Officer’s Knife was protected by law, and it has since become a synonym for Swiss quality and reliability. At the present time, 60,000 Swiss Army Knives and other pocket tools are produced daily, in a wide variety of models. In addition to these 60,000 household and professional knives are made. About 90% of this output is exported all over the world. Read more
