Introduction

FluoSolv® WS is a proprietary blend of nonflammable hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) designed for use as an ambient temperature cleaning-solvent to dissolve oils, waxes, greases, thermoplastic resins, acrylic and urethane monomers as well as simple cross-linked plastics.

FluoSolv® WS is ideally suited for heavy-duty metal cleaning application in liquid-immersion applications as well as a spray on solvent for mold cleaning in plastic extrusion processes.

FluoSolv® WS is a drop-in replacement for TCE, n-propyl bromide (nPB) and similar aggressive heavy duty chlorinated solvents.

FluoSolv® WS solvent blending technology leverages the chemical solvency of the fluid as well as its physical properties such as high density, low surface tension and low viscosity for optimal cleaning performance. It also provides excellent chemical solvency for polymeric gels, plastics, lubricants etc. and can be used as a convenient carrier fluid.

FluoSolv® WS is not an azeotrope and should not be used in a vapor degreaser.

User Benefits

NuGenTec FluoSolv® WS is ideally balanced to deliver performance, worker safety and desirable environmental properties.

• Non-ozone depleting chemical (ODC)
• Drop-in replacement for PERC, TCE & n-PB,
• Low global warming potential (GWP)
• Low toxicity; high allowable exposure limit (AEL);
• Non-Flammable; Non-Hazardous
• Chemically stable; will not go acid

Material Compatibility

FluoSolv® WS is compatible with all metals, ceramic and other non-conducting materials. Most elastomeric materials are compatible except fluoroelastomers such as Viton & Kalrez which tend to swell. It is recommended that all materials be tested prior to use.

Physical Properties

Worker Safety

Data from acute toxicity studies of various ingredients has demonstrated that FluoSolv® WS blend has low toxicity. It has a calculated AEL (Acceptable Exposure Limit) of 255 ppm based on its individual components. None of the ingredients in FluoSolv® WS have any chronic or acute toxicity associated with them which makes it a worker friendly solvent.

Please refer to the SDS for information on detailed exposure limits and toxicity-related data.

NuGenTec FluoSolv® WS exhibits no closed cup or open cup flash point and is not classified as a flammable liquid per established definitions by NFPA or DOT, however being volatile, vapors may become flammable in air. Flash point data and vapor flammability limits in air are shown in the Table.

Storage

FluoSolv® WS is thermally & chemically a very stable solvent. It is non-reactive,has low water solubility and will not oxidize or degrade when exposed to air. It is not affected by any sunlight or other sources of UV radiation. Common industrial practice should be implemented for storage; keep away from human food source and extreme temperature conditions. Freezing temperatures will cause the drums to compress and hot conditions will balloon the drum. The product in any case is perfectly usable.
