Seamless Change Over

Switching to EnTron-Aero™, EnTron™, or GenTech™ from TCE in your vapor degreasing system is seamless. The conversion to our solvents requires no equipment modifications, except minor adjustments to the temperature settings. Our solvents boil at a lower temperature than TCE (160°F versus 188°F); therefore, less time and energy is required to boil the solvent.
