VATIS UPDATE Article

AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc., the United States, has introduced Amolea AT2™, a fluorinated precision cleaning solvent that provides medical device manufacturers a safer, highly effective and environmentally friendly alternative to n-propyl bromide and trichloroethylene solvents. Amolea AT2 Solvent has no ozone depletion potential (ODP), low global warming potential (GWP) and is non-flammable.

Providing good solvency with variety of press, cutting, silicone and refrigerant oils, greases, asphalt pitches and fluxes, the solvent is approved as cleaner, defluxing agent, carrier solvent for silicone and fluorinated lubricants and moisture displacement fluid. Amolea AT2 has no ODP, low GWP and is non-flammable, enabling manufacturers to more easily meet increasingly strict environmental regulations.

Using Amolea AT2 is energy efficient because of its low latent heat of vaporization. Amolea AT2 demonstrates excellent solvency with a wide variety of press, cutting, silicone and refrigerant oils; greases; asphalt pitches; and fluxes used in the electronics industry. It is approved for use as a precision cleaner, defluxing agent, carrier solvent for silicone and fluorinated lubricants, and moisture displacement fluid.
