Despite the health risks, some companies continue to use nPB due to cost advantages, as a substitute for methylene chloride or TCE, or during a transitional phase. BestSolv® nPB supports these short-term needs with a lower price point and reliable availability.
What is the best replacement for nPB?
BestSolv® Bravo and other BestSolv® engineered fluids offer safe, high-performance drop-in replacements for vapor degreasing applications.
