Flammable solvents have a low flashpoint that makes them highly incendiary. Consequently, special care must be taken when storing and using the solvents. Below, we prove the point by exploring three chemical storage issues that come with using low flashpoint solvents,...
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a halocarbon solvent known primarily for its use as an industrial degreaser. TCE is highly effective for numerous degreasing applications, but many companies and organizations are replacing TCE due to its negative impact on the health of...
Aerospace equipment that propels aircraft into the stratosphere and beyond doesn’t have the option of malfunctioning. If it does, and the worst case scenario ensues, the equipment hurtles toward earth at a startling rate of speed, crashes, and obliterates the...
Does your organization need better solvents and cleaning agents? If the solvents you use are a good fit for your cleaning requirements, you may think the answer is no. However, efficacy is just one element that indicates a “good solvent”. Before you order your next...
There are three main reasons why companies and organizations still use solvents that contain trichloroethylene (TCE): the chemical is highly affordable, it suits a variety of solvent-based applications — from degreasing to formulating pepper spray — and it’s...
