Co-solvent ousts 'trich' to clean aircraft parts
For the maintenance of precision aircraft components, British Airways Component Engineering at Hayes, has replaced trichloroethylene with a faster, more efficient co-solvent cleaning system.
A genuine alternative to Trichloroethylene, the New Era range contains highly efficient Purasolv lactate esters and a powerful combination of the non-VOC Purasolv EHL (Ethyl Hexyl Lactate) and Forane 365 HX.
Barry Eaton, Sales Director, SIS Chemicals, said: "The New Era range has been developed to provide the best of both worlds - superb cleaning results with environmental benefits - while also complying with the Solvent Emissions Directive (SED).
"In trials conducted with leading equipment manufacturer CC Hydrosonics, the cleaning performance of New Era solvents has been equally as good as Trichloroethylene.
This performance is achieved with raw materials made from carbohydrates such as sugar beet.
Most New Era solvents are also biodegradable, provide optimum toxicological properties and include a non-VOC option." The New Era range has been developed for a variety of solvent cleaning applications, including use in enclosed and modular machines, and cold cleaning.
It is suitable for a wide variety of market applications including aerospace, aeronautic, electronics, medical, motor and pharmaceutical.
The range comprises: * Purasolv EHL (Ethyl Hexyl Lactate) - for solvent cleaning in enclosed or modular systems.
The only non-VOC for solvent cleaning and residue-free drying applications.
* Enhanced solvent - for solvent cleaning in enclosed or modular systems.
Combines the superior solvency of PURASOLV EHL with the rinsing and solvent vapour drying properties of FORANE 365 HX to provide superb cleaning results.
Compliant with the Solvent Emissions Directive (SED).
* Purasolv EL (Ethyl Lactate) - for solvent cleaning in enclosed or modular systems.
Provides excellent solvency power.
Suitable for cold cleaning applications and formulations.
Approved as a food additive.
* Purasolv BL (Butyl Lactate) and PURASOLV NPL (Normal Propyl Lactate) - for use in cold cleaning formulations.
Approved as a food additive.
