AeroTron™-AV is a powerful, advanced fluorinated vapor degreasing solvent that provides precision cleaning with the pedigree required for the aerospace industry. AeroTron™-AV is non-flammable and specially formulated for metal, plastic and elastomer compatibility in aerospace cleaning. It is a direct replacement for chlorinated solvents: TCE and PERC and nPB-based solvents. Contact us today for more information or a free test sample.
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.
