Irving, TX --(www.FinancialNewsUSA.com)-- 11/19/2008 - The Anviron Holding Company (OTC: ANVH) ("Anviron"), a manufacturer and marketer of "Clean & Green" products and technology, announced today that it has successfully completed its first contract for the usage of AquaSolv product line as a Pesticide Carrier and Adjuvant with Geltz-Brunderlock Estates ("GBE").
"The successful completion of this agreement is a major milestone in our Company's progress and growth. This contract represents the first of its kind contract for the use of AquaSolv as a pesticide carrier and adjuvant," said Anika Guntz-Knapp, Senior European Sales Representative for Anviron.
The market for carrier oils and adjuvants in pesticide formulations is estimated by the USDA in excess of $160 million in the USA and more than $528 million worldwide. The use of carrier oils includes mineral oil, diesel oil and vegetable oils. The use of Diesel Oil and mineral oils, even at the relatively low levels used in agricultural applications, is a source of environmental and public concern. "Replacement of petroleum-based oils by AquaSolv is a growing market opportunity for Anviron as petroleum oil prices continue to escalate, and petroleum contamination and poisoning remain a major health concern," said Anika Guntz-Knapp, Senior European Sales Representative for Anviron.
In agricultural use, AquaSolv is readily biodegradable and low in toxicity to both humans and non-targeted wildlife, providing both a worker-safety and environmental advantage. "Support for use of AquaSolv over petroleum products should find wide favor, especially among farmers," said Steve Young COO of Anviron.
"We have been field-testing AquaSolv, as a carrier for pesticide, under real world conditions over the last few months with dramatic results," said Steve Young COO of Anviron. The use of AquaSolv has been proven to be a direct substitute for both petroleum and vegetable spray oils and surfactants. AquaSolv has also been proven to improve the efficiency of some pesticides in field trials.
Anviron is a company dedicated to bringing to market "Clean Solutions to Complex Problems" by offering a wide range of biodegradable, environmentally friendly products and technologies that will substitute for many of the hazardous chemicals commonly used all over the world.
