Asphalt Extraction Solvent:
EnTron™-AE

Safely replace Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Methylene Chloride for asphalt extraction with EnTron™-AE. EnTron™-AE is an n-propyl bromide (nPB) based solvent which is safer to use and more environmentally friendly then the chlorinated solvents typically used in asphalt extraction applications. Use of EnTron™-AE will use less solvent per extraction, take less time, and have shorter drying times while decreasing hazardous waste, eliminating time-consuming reporting requirements, and reduce annual solvent costs..
