Solvents are defined as substances capable of dissolving multiple phases of matter. These substances are not only diverse in composition but also in their abilities. One solvent that can be used for a multitude of your industrial needs and is compatible with all metals is Ecolink’s 4005 Non-Flammable Solvent. Five uses for our eco-friendly solvent include but are not limited to: 

  • A solvent for aerosol formulations. 
  • A cleaning agent for industrial equipment. 
  • A final cleaning agent for avionics. 
  • Carrier fluid for coating various.  
  • An eco-friendly alternative to other solvents. 

Before we can further discuss this product, you must first understand how it is defined.  

This solvent is composed of a certain azeotrope mixture of two distinct chemicals. These chemicals are Trans-1,2 dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and Hydrofluoroether (HFE). It is due to the HFE that this combination of substances possesses non-flammability. This makes the solvent much safer for workers and the environment alike when compared to its counterparts.  

This non-flammable solvent is defined as a creation inspired by green chemistry. This chemistry, being the driving force behind our company’s composition, aims to promote toxic reduction. 

What Can It Extract? 

As mentioned above, one of its uses is as a solvent for the extraction of aerosol formulations. These formulations disperse various solids and liquids in the form of gas, allowing them to be sprayed. This allows for both easy and effective use, as the formula can be sprayed with little effort onto many surfaces. Three examples of products that utilize aerosol are: 

  • Spray Paint 
  • Hair Spray 
  • Spray Deodorant 

What Can It Clean? 

This mixture is designed to cleanse an abundance of unwanted elements from a variety of surfaces. Some of these surfaces include: 

  • Metals 
  • Non-metals  
  • Motors  
  • Generators  

The Benefits 

 This product, in addition to its environmental friendliness and non-flammability, comes with additional benefits. Some of these additional benefits are as follows: 

  • Low Global Warming Potentials (GWP) 
  • It is a safe alternative for nPB & TCE 
  • Non-ozone depleting
