70/30 IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) is a low toxicity solvent made of a mix of 70% pure isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. This is generally the mixture used in first aid products such as rubbing alcohol. 70/30 IPA, like the mixture that is found in rubbing alcohol, is essentially just a diluted form of pure 99% […]
Water based solvents are solvents that can be used for cleaning or degreasing, but the difference between these water based solvents and other cleaning solvents is that one of the primary components, or the “base” is water instead of a chemical ingredient. There are several upsides to using water based solvents in place of chemical […]
A wetting index for solvents is used to determine a chemical solvent’s wettability, or ability to stay in contact with a surface when being used as a cleaning agent. In this system of categorizing chemical solvents, the water level or wettability of the solvent determines how well the solvent can clean. An ideal cleaning solvent […]
3D Printer solvents, like isopropyl alcohol, are used to wipe clean 3D printing equipment after use, as well as clean 3D printed parts before curing. A solvent like isopropyl alcohol that is a low VOC (low volatile organic compound) and has a high evaporation rate, is ideal for cleaning 3D printing equipment as it will […]
Acetone is a versatile chemical compound and some of the best uses of acetone are in everyday products. Acetone is an organic compound that has a high evaporation rate and is safe to use and handle due to it’s low toxicity rate. From everyday cosmetic products, to high production industrial facilities, acetone can be found […]
