Precision Cleaning & Degreasing is Easy with FR-110 Aerosol.

FluoSolv FR-110 is the revolutionizing aerosolized degreasing and precision contact cleaning.  Why is it so revolutionary? In addition to its superior cleaning abilities, it has none of the dangerous effects of other precision cleaning solvents.  

 

FluoSolv FR-110 Aerosol is Designed for Enhanced User and Environmental Safety

Unlike other cleaners such as nPB, Asahi AK-225 and  HCFC-141b, FluoSolv FR-110 is an azeotropic blend of hydrofluoroethers and acetone and acts as a drop-in replacement for these more dangerous blends.  As such, FluoSolv FR-110 has the following benefits:
 
  • Non-ozone depleting chemical (ODC) 
  • Drop-in replacement for more dangerous chemicals; requires no equipment modifications 
  • Low global warming potential (GWP) 
  • Low toxicity; high allowable exposure limit (AEL)
  • No ceiling on instantaneous exposure
  • Non-flammable
 

Why Are Most Precision Cleaners Dangerous?

There are plenty of dangerous chemicals for  defluxing and aerosolized precision cleaning.  Among the most popular are n-propyl bromide, which has significant health effects including:
 
  • Difficulty walking
  • Muscle twitching
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Confusion
  • Slurred Speech
  • Loss of sensation in arms and legs

These health risks increase the longer workers are near nPB.   

Additionally, the National Toxicity Program has deemed nPB “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” 

Other dangerous solvents include Asahi AK-225 (blend of HCFC-225 ca/cb) & HCFC-141b both of which are ozone depleting substances and have been banned from production. 
 

FluoSolv FR-110 Cleaning Performance

The bottom line of any cleaner is: how well does it perform? FluoSolv FR-110 utilizes a low surface tension to slip between the grease/oil/ flux and the substrate for a fast, efficient, and precision clean.  Learn more about the specific technical workings of FluoSolv FR-110 in comparison to other solvents by clicking here and downloading the technical data sheet (TDS).
