Replace Breakthrough® solvent, Breakthrough® cleaner with New II for MIL-PRF-680-Type-II

In 2000, Ecolink Inc (Cage Code 0WU71) introduced New II as an incredibly cost-effective equivalent product for MIL-PRF-680-Type-II to replace Breakthrough®solvent, Breakthrough®cleaner. As a result, the U.S. Department of Defense (and taxpayers) saved “hundreds of thousand of dollars” while buying thousands of 55-gal and 5-gal containers of MIL-PRF-680-Type II solvent, cleaner.

New II, MIL PRF 680 Compliant with Edge Tek™ Filtration Partswashing Systems

Ecolink Inc. guarantees our product, New II, will clean as well (or better) and offer you a FREE sample to see/smell the difference in pricing but not in cleaning performance. Over the years, we have fielded dozens of calls from concerned end users threatened to have the warranty voided from Inland Technology’s Edge Tek™ Filtration, Partswashing System. Ecolink Inc was not and is not intimidated by Inland’s threat and stand by our products. We 100% guarantee New II will not affect Inland’s Edge Tek™ Filtration, Partswashing System and have not had a ‘single’ incident reported in over 10 years.

Inland Technology Inc. enjoyed uncontested business for a long time before Ecolink showed up and moved their cheese. Their response? Set up another company, Diffusion Technology, and lower their price to ‘fair’ market value for a few minor spot buys. Diffusion Technology Cage Code is 1VBR9. Inland Technology Cage Code is 0K209.  EXACT same address, city, state just a different phone number. Busted!

Search http://progate.daps.dla.mil/home/ to see for yourself. Simply search award history by cage code or NSN:

6850-01-474-2316 for 55 Gal. Drum

6850-01-474-2317 for 5 Gal. Pail

6850-01-378-0698 for 15 Gal. Drum

New II and BREAKTHROUGH®  both qualify for MIL-PRF-680B. New II qualification number is DS-0004, BREAKTHROUGH® qualification number is DS-0005. It’s all available on-line. Anyone east of the Mississippi River will save 2 days (minimum) + a bunch of $ shipping AND enjoy live, in-person technical support to review cleaning process to maximize chemical life cycle in order to reduce expensive disposal fees.
