The use of automation in the form of an automated basket handling system (some use the term lift or hoist) on your vapor degreasing system is worth considering.

So what solvent can you use as an alternative to nPB? One solvent we have vetted that is a direct replacement for n propyl bromide is AeroTron. AeroTron is a powerful cleaner that has an excellent health and safety profile while being as powerful a cleaner as nPB. US-EPA SNAP Approved

nPB is now considered a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) – but you can still use it in your vapor degreaser. Check out the video to learn more.

Are there other solvent alternatives to n propyl bromide? So we can keep using our current vapor degreasing equipment given the nPB (n-propyl bromide) regulatory changes? Yes, there are several leading-edge solvents available now that will provide the same cleaning power without the regulatory or health and safety issues…

It is official…nPB (1-BP) is going to become a hazardous Air Pollutant as of February 4, 2022.
