EnTron™ is United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program approved for solvent cleaning applications. Unlike 1,1,1 trichloroethane, EnTron™ has been reviewed by the USEPA SNAP program and EnTron™ has been determined to be acceptable to the environment for ozone depletion and global warming.

Seamless Change Over

Switching to EnTron™ from 1,1,1 trichloroethane in your vapor degreasing system is easy and seamless. The conversion to EnTron™ requires no equipment modifications, except minor adjustments to the temperature settings. EnTron™ and 1,1,1 trichloroethane boil at 160°F; therefore, all of the standard control settings will match.

EnTron™'s Additional Benefits Include:

Not subject to NESHAP regulation
Does not generate hazardous waste
Has no flash point
Can be used as a cold wipe solvent
