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.

Easy Solvent Disposal

Another advantage of switching from TCE to our solvents is the Reliance Spent Solvent Disposal Program. Our solvents are not considered a hazardous material, and as long as hazardous materials are not introduced into the waste stream, the generated waste can be disposed of as non-hazardous. We offer a free waste disposal program that all our customers may participate in.
