Like many hazardous solvents that predate it, nPB (a.k.a. 1-bromopane and n-propyl bromide) experienced widespread use as an industrial degreasing solvent but was eventually found to be too toxic to use in large quantities. nPB has had a successful, 20-year run as a...
Since the mid-1930s, PERC, also known as perchloroethylene, PCE, tetrachloroethylene, and tetrachloroethene, has been an effective organic solvent that has mainly been used in the dry cleaning industry and to a lesser extent, in metal degreasing. PERC was an ideal dry...
Since chemistry caught up with the capitalistic ambitions of the the Industrial Revolution, industrial companies and organizations have used toxic chemicals for various commercial and industrial work processes, such as defluxing metal after heat treating processes,...
Over the past 20 years, nPB (a.k.a. n-propyl bromide and 1-bromopropane) has become a go-to solvent in numerous industries, from dry cleaning, to furniture construction, to asphalt production. During roughly the same time period, OSHA and the EPA have steadily studied...
Degreaser is one of the most widely used categories of commercial solvents. That’s why there are literally thousands of degreaser solutions you could buy. While having a wide range of options is never a bad thing when it comes to solvent selection, all of the choices...
