FluoSolv
FluoSolv has a few news announcements to report, and they are both here:
1 - NuGenTec response to 3M Announcement of exit from PFAS
2 - NuGenTec Distributor Announcement
FluoSolv® Specialty Fluids product line is designed for precision vapor-degreasing applications that require a relatively low-boiling solvent. FluoSolv products are azeotropic blends of fluorinated solvents, which make the solvents non-toxic, non-flammable as well as non-ozone depleting. Most FluoSolv solvent blends have a very low global warming potential.
Drop-in Replacement for TCE & nPB
Field testing and lab evaluations have shown that two solvent blends from the FluoSolv Vapor-Degreasing product line i.e. FluoSolv® CX and FluoSolv® Ten-X, perform very well as substitutes for n-propyl bromide (nPB) & trichloroethylene (TCE). In fact, both the FluoSolv® solvent blends, when used in large vapor-degreasers, have shown a 30% increase in production throughput rate due to the fact that the FluoSolv® CX and FluoSolv® Ten-X have a lower boiling point vs nPB & TCE and parts dry out faster.
For those requiring a Boeing-approved product to BAC 5408, our FluoSolv® AP is the product of choice for your vapor degreasing needs. FluoSolv® CAS is our Zero VOC, Clean Air Solvent, certified by SCAQMD.
FluoSolv® AP, FluoSolv® CAS, FluoSolv® CX and FluoSolv® Ten-X - Safer Alternatives
Trichloroethylene is a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and chemically unstable when exposed to continuous boiling as in a vapor-degreasing process. Similarly, n-propyl bromide is also chemically unstable, in addition to the fact that it has human carcinogenicity associated with it.
BREAKING NEWS!
Biden-Harris Administration Announces Latest Actions under Nation’s Chemical Safety Law to Protect People from Cancer-Causing Chemicals Trichloroethylene and Perchloroethylene
Final EPA rules ban all uses of TCE, all consumer uses and many commercial uses of PCE, require worker protections for all remaining uses under the Toxic Substances Control Act
WASHINGTON – Today, Dec. 9, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the latest risk management rules for trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) under the bipartisan 2016 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) amendments, marking another major milestone for chemical safety after decades of inadequate protections and serious delays. These protections align with President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, a whole-of-government approach to end cancer as we know it.
TCE is an extremely toxic chemical known to cause liver cancer, kidney cancer, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. TCE also causes damage to the central nervous system, liver, kidneys, immune system, reproductive organs, and fetal heart defects. These risks are present even at very small concentrations. Under today’s rule, all uses of TCE will be banned over time (with the vast majority of identified risks eliminated within one year), and safer alternatives are readily available for the majority of uses.
