## Choosing the Right Alternative to Trichloroethylene or Perchloroethylene

Over the past several years, there has been a clear global trend for regulatory agencies to push for the substitution of Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Perchloroethylene (PERC) with more environmentally responsible alternatives. This can be a daunting task for those using TCE or PERC as a critical part of their solvent cleaning operations, however there are viable alternatives available.

**[NEXT-HD Pro](https://envirotechint.com/product/hd-pro/)** is a replacement solvent for TCE and PERC. NEXT-HD Pro is Enviro Tech’s newest 1,2 trans blend using no HFC’s. This solvent blend is perfectly suited for vapor degreasing in modern equipment and general cleaning. Its solvency for hydrocarbon soils is superior to most similar high-trans fluorinated solvent blends. With a high KB value of 94, it can reliably replace other cleaning solvents such as n-propyl bromide (nPB) and trichloroethylene (TCE). It can also be used as a carrier fluid for deposition of materials such as silicone and other lubricants.

NEXT-HD Pro has broad spectrum cleaning capability for many types of contaminants including cutting oils, heavy greases, stamping oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils, vacuum oils, mineral oils, waxes, and cutting oils.
