Excellent for Vapor Degreasing & Ultrasonic Cleaning

AeroTron<sup>®</sup>-100 vapor degreasing solvent performance

Ideal Drop-In Replacement for Chlorinated & Brominated Solvents:

Trichloroethylene, Perchloroethylene & n Propyl Bromide

AeroTron™-AV is a drop-in replacement for TCE, PERC, MC & nPB in aerospace vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning. The physical properties (no flash point, azeotropic, 116°F boiling point, solvency power, stability and easy distillation) make AeroTron™-AV ideal for replacing harsher solvents.

AeroTron™-AV is Cost Effective

We recognize that the total cost of cleaning is more than just the cost of the solvent. That is why with AeroTron™-AV not only will you find a competitively priced product, but a full compliment of support personnel, and performance characteristics that enhance the cost effectiveness of choosing AeroTron™-AV:
