April 29, 2019 This Aerosolized, Non-Flammable Azeotrope is Revolutionizing Precision Cleaning and Defluxing.
FluoSolv BA is the revolutionizing aerosolized precision cleaners and defluxers. Why is it so revolutionary? In addition to its superior cleaning abilities, it has none of the dangerous effects of other precision cleaning solvents.
Why Are Most Precision Cleaners and Defluxers 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.
What are the Health and Ozone-Depletion Effects of FluoSolv BA?
Unlike other cleaners such as nPB, Asahi AK-225, and HCFC-141b, FluoSolv BA is an azeotropic blend of hydrofluoroethers and trans-dichloroethylene. As such, FluoSolv BA 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
FluoSolv BA Cleaning Performance
The bottom line of any cleaner is: how well does it perform? FluoSolv BA utilizes a low surface tension to slip between the grease/oil/ flux and the substrate for a fast, efficient, and precision clean.
