FluoSolv

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.
