EnSolv-5408

N-propyl bromide is widely recognized as the aerospace cleaning solvent of choice for environmental responsibility and employee health. Some of EnSolv® 5408’s environmental benefits include:

• Highly stable. EnSolv® 5408 is an azeotropic formula that can be recycled and reused again and again before it needs to be replaced, and is ideal for solvent recovery and recycling programs.
• Materials-friendly. EnSolv® 5408 is compatible with all materials commonly subjected to the vapor degreasing process. This includes many plastics and all metals, including titanium, for which it has passed all stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement tests.
• SNAP-approved. While n-propyl bromide is classified as 100 percent volatile organic compound (VOC), independent testing has confirmed that this material exhibits low atmospheric reactivity and does not pose a threat to the ozone layer or contribute to global warming. N-propyl bromide is currently approved by the U.S. EPA under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) as an acceptable alternative to ozone-depleting chemicals.
• Energy efficient. EnSolv® 5408 requires moderate temperature operation, saving energy throughout the cleaning and degreasing process.
• A Safer Replacement. Trichloroethylene, a chemical used in vapor degreasing applications from yesteryear, has been classified as a known human carcinogen per the National Toxicology Program – n-Propyl Bromide used in our EnSolv® Products is not classified as such. Even so, Enviro Tech always recommends the use of proper safety equipment and procedures when handling any solvent.

• No Cost Waste Program. EnviroTech has partnered with WRR Environmental Services to offer a disposal/recycling program for spent EnSolv® 5408.
