Ideal Drop-In Replacement for Chlorinated Solvents: Trichloroethylene and Perchloroethylene
Aerospace industry users know cleaning to exacting standards is paramount to quality. Now, a powerful, safe alternative to TCE (Trichloroethylene) and PERC (Perchloroethylene) has been approved under BAC5408 for use as a drop-in replacement for TCE and PERC in aerospace vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning. The physical properties (no flash point, azeotropic, 160°F boiling point, solvency power, stability and easily distilled) and favorable regulatory profile make EnTron-Aero ideal for replacing chlorinated solvents.
Effortless Precision Vapor Degreasing and Ultrasonic Cleaning of Complex Parts
EnTron-Aero's low surface tension, high evaporation rate and powerful solvency make it ideal for removing contaminants from parts with blind holes and complex geometries or for batch cleaning of multiple small parts in vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning applications.
Pictured to the right is a performance test part cleaning of an aerospace turbine gear box cleaned in the Reliance Vapor Degreaser Test Cleaning Lab. This vapor degreaser is a Reliance Refurbished Degreaser. The Aerospace Turbine Gear Box is being cleaned in our EnTron-Aero BAC5408 Boeing approved vapor degreasing solvent.

EnTron-Aero has an improved regulatory profile over TCE & PERC
EnTron-Aero is an advanced solvent formulation with a favorable regulatory profile. It does not require the environmental reporting procedures, such as NESHAP or OSHA HAZCOM that TCE does. EnTron-Aero also has a very low global warming potential (.0005), and very low ozone depletion potential (.016), while requiring less energy in vapor cleaning because of its lower boiling point (160°F) than TCE. Best of all, EnTron-Aero is not cancer causing, one of the major reasons chlorinated solvents are being replaced. Clearly, when you consider the improved environmental profile and H&S profile of EnTron-Aero, it becomes the better choice.
