Following its acquisition in 2006 of ISO 14001 certification for its approach to welding products manufacture and environmental practices, the ESAB Group has continuously reviewed its methods to reduce environmental impact. The company has recognised that some of the dyes used to colour electrode coatings can be environmentally detrimental.

The decision has therefore been made to remove the green dye used in the coating of the Murex branded Vortic Marine welding electrode. This dye is purely a recognition feature and does not contribute to the performance and properties of the product.

The coating colour is being changed to grey and the new colour electrodes will be seen as stocks become available through distribution channels.
