High-Performance Cold Cleaning Solvent - Injection Molding
High-performance cleaning solvent ideal for use in injection mold cleaning on hot, inline press cleaning or cold, offline press cleaning. Fast evaporating, non-flammable, high-solvency, residue-free, and non-carcinogenic - ideal replacement for n-propyl bromide (nPB), methylene chloride (DCM), trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PERC).
Introduction
NuGeneration Technologies’ FluoSolv® Eleven-X was developed as a drop-in replacement for nPB, TCE and PERC cold-cleaning applications. As these solvents are being banned for environmental, health and safety reasons, a suitable alternative that meets the desirable properties of fast-evaporation, non-flammability, high-solvency and improved worker health and safety is more needed than ever. After two years of careful development and testing, FluoSolv® Eleven-X was created to be able to meet of these criteria. FluoSolv® Eleven-X is a powerful cleaner, and ideal for injection molding cleaning both inline and offline, on hot or cold molds where perfect cleaning and limited down time is absolutely crucial.
Characteristics
FluoSolv® Eleven-X was formulated to be used at both ambient temperatures for cold-cleaning/wipe applications as well as at elevated temperatures up to 47 °C (117 °F). FluoSolv® Eleven-X is not listed on the IARC’s Monographs as “Carcinogenic”, or “Possibly Carcinogenic” like nPB, DCM, TCE and PERC. With a Kb value of 111, FluoSolv® Eleven-X has incredible solvency, making it a suitable drop-in replacement for nPB, DCM, TCE and PERC. FluoSolv® Eleven-X is 2000x less toxic than nPB, 20x less toxic than TCE, and 8x less toxic than PERC, and 4x less toxic than DCM according to the ACGIH.
Directions for Use
FluoSolv® Eleven-X is used at 100% concentration, and is effective at ambient temperatures in cold cleaning and wipe applications. However, it can also be used up to 47 °C (117 °F) for improved cleaning. The parameters can vary due to the type and extent of soils to be removed.
Product Benefits
- High-performance, non-flammable, low toxicity solvent blend
- Removes all polycarbonate, ABS and other plastics, degraded resins, gas deposits, greases, dirt and moisture from injection molds
- Non-flammable - safe in hot, inline wipedowns between injection shots
