3M Novec 72DA 73DE Solvent Vapor Degreaser For Medical Device Instruments
Application Many times the geometry of a part makes it difficult for aqueous cleaning systems to clean the entire part – inside and out. Small features like blind holes or even through holes with a very small diameter means that the water based solutions may not be able to wick or wet into an area […]
nPB Replacement- Phase Out – OSHA & EPA Restrictions on n-propyl bromide, 1-bromopropane
n-propyl bromide (nPb) or also known as 1-bromopropane use has grown considerably over the last 20 years, but that doesn’t mean it is a safe solvent for vapor degreaser parts cleaning. Actually, nPb has gotten more and more press lately advising restrictions of use based on employee exposure limits and confirmed carcinogen classification. These restrictions will […]

AK225 HCFC-225 Phase Out and Replacement with 3M Novec HFE Engineered Fluids
A brief history of cleaning solvents, comparison and why the 3M Novec HFE Engineered Fluids Solvent is the best solvent for your needs. In the 1980’s and prior, Freon TF (CFC-113) or Freon TMS (TF + 5.7% methanol) was the workhorse solvent for precision cleaning (and vapor degreasing) due to its high purity, low “non-volatile […]
Why Use a Parts Cleaning Solvent?
Precision Cleaning Chemistries Current chemistry trends call for the use of parts cleaning solvents and vapor degreasers for precision cleaning applications. The main reason to use a parts cleaning solvent is that “like dissolves like.” This means that a “non-polar” solvent best dissolves a “non-polar” oil such as oils, greases and RMA fluxes. While […]
