Over the past 20 years, industrial solvent users have become increasingly interested in switching to solvents that have a natural formulation, sending the market for these solvents on a stratospheric climb that continues today, as more companies and organizations stop using solvents from yesteryear in favor of greener options. If you’re thinking about getting in […]
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are found in all but the simplest electronic devices. Because PCBs featuring embedded or non-embedded components are protected by equipment housing, they seldom experience physical stress that could cause damage, such as warping and cracking. However, because equipment that contains PCBs frequently contains a ventilation system, PCBs are subject to accumulations […]
Also known as trichloroethylene, TCE is a halocarbon frequently used for industrial solvent needs. However, the chemical compound appears on track to be banned or severely regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). in the near future. When it went into wide production in the 1920s, TCE was hailed as a highly effective anesthetic. However, […]
Acetone has been used as a solvent for hundreds of years. As wikipedia explains, “Acetone was first produced by alchemists during the late Middle Ages via the dry distillation of metal acetates.” Alchemy is seldom practiced today, but acetone cleaning solvent is still used in large quantities. Unlike in the early days of acetone use, […]
Most mechanical parts that receive heavy wear are serviced with a lubricant to prevent moving parts from grinding together and accelerating wear. In industrial settings, heavy-duty mechanical parts are treated with grease to provide a smooth buffer between moving parts in vehicles, production line equipment, large air distribution fans, and much more. Eventually, though, the […]
