PROMOSOLV DE2

Solvent for Additive Manufacturing, Oil & Grease removal

  • Removal of a wide range of contaminants
  • Vapor phase process
  • Alternative to 3M Novec 72DE
PROMOSOLV DE2

Is developed as a drop-in replacement for trichlorethylene, NPB and other solvents with a high Health, Safety & Environmental impact. While reducing substantially the HSE impact, the degreasing power is at an equivalent level. The very low surface tension allows to penetrate very tight or difficult to access spaces, providing a deep cleaning and rinsing.

It is dedicated to remove most kind of oils and greases, with the exception of water-based lubricants. Furthermore it is suitable for removing waxes and particles. Depending on the nature of polymerized materials, some varnishes, adhesives, inks & paints could also be removed. Besides, it is an equivalent to the phased out 3M Novec 72DE as it has the same proportion of components and same properties.

Compatible with all metals and alloys, including very sensitive ones. It has also good compatibility with most plastics & elastomers, however it is necessary to test before use.

PROMOSOLV DE2 formulated with safety in mind. Its composition has excellent flammability suppression properties and is an azeotropic formulation, which provides a very high stability when used in an equipment. Some products in the market may lose their flammability suppression compound due to evaporation when used in an equipment.
