If you look at model of a combustion engine, it appears to have metal parts that rub against each other when it runs. In reality, the components are moving in exceptionally close proximity to each other, with a thin layer of motor oil separating them. If the oil weren’t viscous enough to fill the space […]
Paint Thinner and Acetone- What’s the Difference? Some solvents that go by different names can seem like the same product. They may be used for some of the same applications and produce near-identical results. Take acetone and paint thinner, for example. Acetone has been used to thin and remove paint for many years, which is […]
For most solvent cleaners ? industrial strength and otherwise ? a non-residue formulation, which means the cleaner leaves no residue after performing the cleaning action, is generally considered a good thing. Some cleaners purposefully leave residue to help protect the equipment or part’s final application, such as to provide a buffer against a certain chemical. […]
Simply put, solvent evaporation rate is the rate at which a solvent evaporates ? the process of changing from liquid into vapor ? compared to the evaporation rate of another substance. Evaporation quantity is thus expressed as a ratio instead of in units. The evaporation rate of water is a commonly used reference point for […]
