Developed by Enviro Tech International, the United States, the ‘EnSolv’ consists of stabilized n-propyl bromide solvent with KB value of 130, which can be used in existing vapor degreasing equipment with only minor alterations to programs and temperature settings. Non-flammable product offers mid-range temperature operation, low GWP, and biodegrades readily in environment. Available as replacement for HCFC-225, EnSolv NEXT high-trans, fluorinated solvents feature KB value of 91, zero ODP, and low GWP.

EnSolv is a direct, drop-in replacement solvent for TCE that can be used in existing vapor degreasing equipment with only minor alterations to programs and temperature settings. EnSolv is a stabilized n-propyl bromide solvent with a superior KB value of 130, which is very comparable to TCE (129). In most cases, EnSolv will clean parts as well or better than TCE, making the transition to EnSolv virtually seamless.

Enviro Tech has addressed these customers directly by introducing the EnSolv NEXT line of high-trans, fluorinated solvents. EnSolv NEXT has a number of benefits over similar high-trans fluorinated solvents like DuPont Vertrel, 3M Novec and others, in addition to being a viable alternative to chlorinated solvents or nPB solvents. EnSolv NEXT has one of the highest solvency ratings of all of the high-trans fluorinated alternative solvents.
