Dielectric Solvent
LPA® 170 is a high-purity mixture, dielectric solvent with very low levels of polynuclear aromatics. It is an effective process solvent with a high flash point and minute boiling range.
Applications
This solvent may be used in a wide array of applications, including:
-
- cleaning metal lubricants
- as specialty coatings
- as chemical process solvents
- as freeze point depressants
- as pesticide formulations
Regulatory Compliance
If this material is used in a consumer product or in certain other specific applications, some exemptions may apply. Please contact a sales representative for more information on particular FDA regulations or for solvent status as an LVP-VOC for consumer products.
