Solvent Cleaners

Solvent cleaners are cleaning agents that use solvents as the primary active ingredient. Solvents are chemicals capable of dissolving other substances. This makes solvent cleaners highly effective for removing tough contaminants such as grease, oil and flux residues. Solvent-based cleaners are also a good choice for parts that may be prone to corrosion if cleaned with water-based products.

Solvent cleaners are indispensable tools in various industrial sectors, serving a wide array of applications. By utilizing the unique properties of solvents, these cleaners ensure optimal cleanliness, facilitating the smooth operation and longevity of critical equipment.

Benefits and drawbacks of solvent cleaners

Compared to water-based cleaners, solvent cleaners are often more efficient at dissolving and removing stubborn contaminants, resulting in a higher level of cleanliness. They typically evaporate quickly, leaving no residue behind and reducing the risk of corrosion or damage to sensitive components. Moreover, solvent cleaners are generally effective across a wider range of temperatures, making them suitable for extreme environments.

However, solvent cleaners have a number of drawbacks that need to be considered. Some solvent formulations may have a strong odour and release volatile organic compounds, requiring proper ventilation during use. Additionally, certain solvents may pose health and environmental risks if mishandled or disposed of improperly. It is imperative to adhere to safety guidelines and regulations when working with solvent cleaners.
