EnSolv® CC-A Vapour degreasing solvent for precision metal cleaning

The EnSolv^® CC-A formulation for precision metal cleaning responds to the need for high performance vapour degreasing solvents for critical cleaning in general engineering, aerospace, medical, optical and electrical industries. It builds on 30 years of experience supplying the EnSolv® range of powerful and reliable metal cleaners.

EnSolv^® CC-A removes cutting oils, lubricants, lapping compounds grinding pastes and water based cutting oils or fluids. This complex synergistic blend utilises environmentally compliant solvents combined with selected surfactants to remove oils and lubricants to the highest standards for critical cleaning applications and releases and suspends inorganic solids and soils such as fingerprints, polishing compounds and grinding paste from finely finished and highly polished surfaces such as stainless steel and plated parts, optical lenses and components for medical appliances.

EnSolv^® CC-A a proprietary methylene chloride-based blend of inhibitors and stabilisers for the solvents to prevent water staining and corrosion of yellow metals such as copper, brass and bronze which can be a problem with some other solvents.

EnSolv^® CC-A is non-flammable, stable and specifically formulated for use in any vapour degreasing equipment with the added advantage of lower solvent usage, greater stability and reduced costs. The formulation is compliant with all current environmental and user safety legislation.

IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Suitable for processing temperature sensitive components as well as the conventional engineering substrates. The very low surface tension cleans through holes on castings and penetrates between overlapping metal spot welds eliminating oil leaching in paint and powder coatings during oven curing.

Easy handling - Cleaned components are dry and comfortable to handle immediately at the ideal temperature for painting or powder coating. No time lost waiting for parts to cool which allows immediate quality control testing or assembly of machined parts due to minimal dimensional changes.

Cleaning cycles reduced and productivity improved with output doubled compared to conventional solvents.

Minimises flash rusting on mild steel cleaned components due to the advanced stabiliser/inhibitor package compared to alternative formulations.

Compatible with mixed metal components. No staining of yellow metals, bronze, copper, aluminium.

Reduced maintenance - unique additive suspends contaminants in boiling solvent sump preventing tar formation and continuously cleans heating surfaces. Longer periods between cleanouts reduces labour costs and solvent losses.

SAFE FOR USERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmentally friendly cleaning. All the constituents are environmentally friendly and compliant with REACH. This proprietary blend has no Global Warming Potential (GWP), no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), does not produce ozone at ground level and is biodegradable.
EnSolv^® CC-A addresses many of the problems faced by the engineering industries in meeting environmental legislation.

Easily biodegradable all the components of the formulation are widely used in industry but only trace elements have been detected in atmosphere and they are not detectable in rivers, oceans or ground water. This is attributed to its high volatility and biodegradability by naturally occurring organisms. Released into the atmosphere it is photochemically degraded reacting with naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals producing only carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride simple chemicals already present in the environment.

No depletion of the ozone layer and no global warming. EnSolv^® CC-A has an atmospheric lifetime of only 6 months and does not accumulate in the atmosphere so is not transported into the ozone layer. The most urgent challenge for the future is reduction of gases which produce global warming. The solvents and any breakdown products of this formulation do not produce greenhouse gases and the reduced energy needs of vapour degreasing with EnSolv^® CC-A lower the power station production of CO₂ for equivalent work throughput.

No ground level ozone production - authorities are becoming increasingly concerned at ground level pollution causing increased asthma and bronchial diseases. EnSolv^® CC-A has a minimal impact on ozone formation with an extremely low Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP).

Reduced solvent emissions (VOCs) - Improving air quality is a high priority for the European Union and governments worldwide with the elimination of VOCs as a high priority. The use of EnSolv^® CC-A with its excellent environmental profile assists the engineering industry to meet increasingly severe environmental legislation on solvent emissions allowing continued use of vapour degreasing with all the production benefits it offers.
