The Bonny Marlin System eliminates the
practice of using lacquer thinner to clean paint guns. Lacquer
thinner is toxic, flammable, contains Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). It also produces costly hazardous
waste and is harmful to worker's health and the environment. The drums housing the toxic
lacquer thinner at the auto refinishing facilities are often referred to
as "Drums of Liability".

The Bonny Marlin System incorporates features
not available in any other paint gun cleaning equipment on the market
today. The system is a self-contained paint gun cleaner and solution
recycler system that can be placed in the paint mixing room. Other
products currently on the market typically require two pieces of
equipment, one for gun cleaning and another for recycling. At least one
(if not both) of these pieces require electrical power and cannot be
located in the mixing room. The Bonny Marlin System DOES NOT require electrical
power and the entire unit can be located in your shop's paint mixing room.
About the Founders
The founders and creators of The Bonny Marlin System have over 75 years
experience in the Automotive Collision Repair Industry. Added to this is
over 15 years of experience specializing in the areas of hazardous waste
prevention in the same industry. This concern for environmental issues
coupled with a strong sense of community responsibility and professional
commitment are the key elements that went into the creation and
development of the Bonny Marlin Paint Gun Cleaning System.
The owners of
Scuderi Auto Body, a car repair shop
in Rockville, MD, developed the system in March of 2002. The owners had an
urgent need to find an alternative approach to paint waste management, and
also sought to eliminate the hazardous waste they were generating and
eliminate the use of lacquer thinner by their employees. |
