FluoSolv™ BA developed by NuGenTec, the United States, is a proprietary blend of non- flammable hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and alcohol engineered for defluxing as well as white residue removal. FluoSolv™ BA is a drop-in replacement for defluxing blends of n-propyl bromide (nPB) and similar vapor degreasing solvents.
It can also be used as a substitute for other cleaners such as Asahi AK-225 (blend of HCFC-225 ca/cb) & HCFC-141b both of which are ozone depleting substances and have been banned from production. FluoSolv™ BA solvent blending technology leverages the chemical solvency of the fluid as well as its physical properties such as high density, low surface tension and low viscosity for optimal performance.
FluoSolv™ BA is compatible with all metals, ceramic and other non-conducting materials. Most elastomeric materials are compatible except fluoroelastomers such as Viton & Kalrez which tend to swell. It is recommended that all materials be tested prior to use. FluoSolv™ BA is thermally & chemically a very stable solvent. It is non-reactive,has low water solubility and will not oxidize or degrade when exposed to air. Contact: NuGenTec, 1155 Park Ave, Emeryville, CA 94608, USA. E-mail: fluosolv@nugentec.com.
