Optics Pitch and Wax Removal

NuGenTec FluoSolv® formulated solvents have been used in many applications in the optics industry such as precision cleaning, deposition of anti-reflective & anti-static coatings and de-blocking. Many different types of pitch and wax are used for blocking during grinding and polishing of glass to make spherical and plano-optical components. FluoSolv CX® is a safe drop-in replacement for Asahiklin AK-225 solvent (Class II ODC) as well as nPB and other similar solvents.

FluoSolv® CX has shown excellent solvency when used in a vapor-degreaser for removal of pitch (e.g. Trinidad, Gugolz) and wax (e.g. Fixturewax, Hypo Wax etc.) due to its Kb value being high (95-100).

Higher soil loading allows the solvent bath to last longer before replacement, resulting in cost savings for new solvent and lower production downtime.
