NuGenTec's FluoSolv 5408 Receives Boeing Approval
NuGenTec, a well-known manufacturer of advanced vapor-degreasing solvents, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining approval for FluoSolv 5408 under Boeing's specification BAC 5408. This certification showcases the rigorous testing that FluoSolv 5408 underwent to ensure its efficacy for all non-ferrous metals, including titanium.
Rising Need for Safer Solvent Alternatives
FluoSolv 5408 comes as a much-needed enhancement for suppliers using traditional n-propyl bromide (nPB) for vapor degreasing. This industrial-grade solvent presents a safer, effective alternative, providing exceptional solvency for oils, greases, and lubricants while remaining non-flammable, non-toxic, and fast-drying.
Replacing Hazardous Compounds
Traditionally, vapor degreasing processes have utilized hazardous solvents such as Trichloroethylene (TCE) and nPB. Recent studies have highlighted the toxicity of nPB, classifying it as a neurotoxin and raising concerns about its impact on health and environment.
Versatile Applications of FluoSolv 5408
FluoSolv 5408 is poised to replace numerous harmful solvents such as TCE and Methylene Chloride. This solvent’s stable azeotropic blend is non-ozone depleting and entirely recyclable, making it a smart choice for businesses committed to sustainability and safety.
Performance Standards of FluoSolv 5408
The approval of FluoSolv 5408 marks it as a superior product in the aerospace industry, meeting the latest Revision (T) of Boeing spec BAC 5408. Its superior degreasing ability is quantified with a KB value of 103, surpassing all other Boeing-approved solvents.
