Perchloroethylene Replacement Solvo n-PB based cleaning solvents are environmentally responsible cleaning solutions for Industry. Solvo n-PB Solvents possess a number of environmental and regulatory advantages over other commonly used solvents such as Trichloroethylene and Perchloroethylene. The following table offers a comparison of the environmental and regulatory issues associated with these solvents: | | Solvo n-PB | Trichloroethylene | Perchloroethylene | | Transport | Non-Hazardous | Placard Pack. Gr. III Toxicity | Placard Pack. Gr. III Toxicity | | Waste Disposal (RCRA) | Non-Hazardous | Hazardous | Hazardous | | NESHAP | No | Yes | Yes | | SNAP | Approved | Approved | Approved | | ODP | 0.006-0.0136 | Unknown | Unknown | | GWP | 0.031 | Unknown | Unknown | Transportation Solvo n-PB solvents are classified as Non-Flammable and Non-Hazardous for domestic and international shipment. Waste Disposal Spent Solvo n-PB is not considered a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). For disposal purposes, spent Solvo n-PB that does not contain RCRA hazardous contaminants can be transported as a Non-Hazardous material. SNAP Solvo n-PB is approved as a substitute for ozone depleting compounds under the SNAP (Significant New Alternatives Policy) program. Solvo n-PB has been shown to possess minimal Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) in laboratory tests and simulations due to its short atmospheric lifetime of less than 19 days. Global Warming Potential Solvo n-PB has been shown to possess minimal Global Warming Potential. VOC Based on low atmospheric reactivity data derived through independent testing labs, has petitioned the VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) exempt status for Solvo n-PB VOC exemption petition is currently pending and has not yet been ruled on. Solvo n-PB SOLVENT CLEANER Solvo n-PB is the original patented Solvo n-PB based vapor degreasing solvent. Since its introduction in 1995, Solvo n-PB has remained the benchmark Solvo n-PBsolvent cleaner in the industry. Solvo n-PB patented azeotropic formula provides for superior stability, acid neutralization, white metals reaction prevention, soil lifting and rust inhibition. In most vapor degreasing applications, the addition of extra stabilizer boosters is not required and process control maintenance is very painless. Solvo n-PB is widely recognized as the premier general use solvent for a variety of applications including precision optics, electronic components, high vacuum components, oxygen systems and medical devices. When precision cleaning matters, Solvo n-PB is the answer. Solvo n-PB Ionic is an azeotropic blend of Solvo n-PB and Alcohol. It is formulated to remove both polar and non-polar organic soils from printed circuit boards, circuit assemblies and electronic components. |
