ejection of the finished part from the mold

Enviro Tech has been working with customers in the military industry for over 25 years.

Our specialists understand the unique issues involved in cleaning materials specific to the military and are experts in the design and manufacture of cleaning products to meet your critical needs.

Our solvents are used to clean parts on armored vehicles, ships, airplanes, helicopters, satellites, rockets, and spacecraft.  Enviro Tech International solvents are used by the original manufacturers, technicians in the field and at maintenance depots under the most extreme conditions.

Enviro Tech’s military solvents are used in many applications such as cleaning firearms and ammunition, precision optics cleaning, clean and deflux printed circuit boards (PCB), clean electric assemblies like avionics, flush oxygen and refrigeration systems, remove fluorinated greases (like Krytox), asphalt extraction, NDT penetrant removal, clean turbine engine parts and landing gear. 

You can count on the professionals at Enviro Tech to provide a convenient and comprehensive solution that meets your particular needs and specifications.

Vapor degreasing, a space and energy efficient alternate to other parts cleaning methods including aqueous immersion, is a highly effective process for removing contaminants from both simple and complex precision parts. With the proven ability to clean a wide variety of substrates, from steel and aluminum to plastics and carbon fiber, vapor degreasing with Enviro Tech’s EnSolv, NEXT family of products ensures critical components will pass all cleanliness testing standards. Vapor degreasing with EnSolv and NEXT family of products is the ideal choice for critical cleaning in the military industry.

EnSolv® 5408 Military Solvent

EnSolv® 5408 is a stabilized, non-flammable, n-propyl bromide-based solvent for the replacement of trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene and other solvents designed exclusively for precision cleaning aerospace parts in vapor degreasers. EnSolv® 5408 is an azeotropic mixture and unlike other solvents on the market, EnSolv® 5408’s stabilizer package typically precludes the need to add stabilizers to maintain the integrity of the solvent through normal use. EnSolv® 5408 can be distilled and reused through numerous cycles before it needs to be replaced, reducing overall costs for your cleaning process.

We’re proud that EnSolv® 5408 was the first n-propyl bromide-based solvent approved under Boeing’s commercial PSD 6-62 specification for use under BAC 5408 as well as Boeing’s military spec PS 12020 Rev Y. In addition to Boeing approval, EnSolv® 5408 has over 30 other domestic and international specification and testing approvals specific to the aerospace industry, from major aerospace companies as well as numerous other non-aerospace world-wide approvals.

For over 25 years, EnSolv® 5408 has been the overwhelming choice of programs requiring aerospace industry approved, non-chlorinated solvents for vapor degreasing. Our ISO 9001 manufacturing facility and precise in-house quality control ensure EnSolv® 5408 will continue to be the leading nPB based solvent in the aerospace industry, providing a proven, cost effective and efficient solution unequaled by other products.
