Introduction
FluoSolv® 72FL is a safe, nonflammable solvent blend specifically formulated for cold cleaning of aircraft surfaces, controls, connectors, relays, circuit breakers, and electromechanical components. It effectively removes light oils, greases, silicones, fluorolubes, dust, and particulates. Designed to leave no residues or require rinsing, it delivers excellent plastic compatibility, fast drying, low odor, and a low environmental impact.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fast drying, low odor
- Nonflammable, non-corrosive, and non-conductive
- Excellent compatibility with a broad range of plastics
- Low toxicity, 80% U.S. EPA VOC-exempt; compliant with NESHAP Option 2 for aerospace applications
- Leaves no residues—no need for rinsing
- Low Global Warming Potential (GWP ~71), zero Ozone
Applications
FluoSolv® 72FL is ideal for cold cleaning (flush, wipe, and spray) of aircraft surfaces, including flaps, controls, connectors, and electromechanical devices. Also excellent for removing seals-compromising hydraulic fluids without affecting corrosion-inhibiting coatings. Not intended for vapor degreasing due to its non-azeotropic formulation.
Material Compatibility
FluoSolv® 72FL exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of materials:
- Plastics: ABS, PMMA (acrylic), nylon, POM, polycarbonate/Lexan, PP, HDPE, PS, CDPE, PTFE, phenolic resins, PVC—“excellent” compatibility reported.
- Test results also show compliance for corrosion tests (F1110 Sandwich, F485 Residue, F945 Stress Corrosion, F502 Paint Softening, F519 Hydrogen Embrittlement) comparable to CFC-113, validating its safe use on diverse aerospace materials.
