Mirachem(R) Chosen Official Parts Washer/Cleaning Solution Supplier To #88 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Racing TeamRacing Teams Prefer Safe Solutions TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 22 -- Tempe, Arizona-based Mirachem Corporation ( http://www.iepinc.com ), has announced that it has been chosen the official parts washer/cleaning solution supplier to the #88 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Racing Team. "We're trying to make the performance racing industry responsive to environmental concerns," says driver Terry Cook. "And besides, we want to get toxic solvents out of our shops to protect our drivers and teams." Mirachem products are in widespread use among NASCAR racing teams and car enthusiasts, including Hendrick MotorSports and Robert Yates, and were formulated by Jim Edwards, a vintage auto racer who was seeking a solution to his own problems with solvent sensitivity as he restored cars. Mirachem, a 20-year old environmental technology company that produces aqueous, non-volatile cleaners and parts washer systems for the automotive and performance racing industries, has received a Clean Air Solvent certification from the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Orange County, California. This stamp of approval from a California air quality board considered among the strictest in the world ensures that these products comply with the most stringent legislation on the horizon. Mirachem fluid products and parts washers are also used by such environmentally conscious companies as Chrysler Corporation and BF Goodrich, and are developed to ensure worker safety and environmental protection without sacrificing effectiveness. Businesses in southern California that use Clean Air Solvents will be exempt from record-keeping requirements and emissions fees under SCAQMD rules covering solvent cleaning operations. Businesses are required to switch to lower-polluting degreasing solvents, to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) or hydrocarbon emissions from solvent degreasing tanks by December 31, 1998. Mirachem Corporation of Tempe, Arizona, manufactures and markets Mirachem 500, Mirachem 250, Mirachem 750, Mirachem Press Room Cleaner, Insight Firearms Cleaner, and through its affiliated company, Now Products, Inc., manufactures and markets Now(R) brand cleaning products for the home.
