GenTech™ is a powerful solvent on a broad range of common manufacturing contaminants.
By traditional solvency measures of the Hildebrand Parameter and KB factor, GenTech™ is comparable to that of chlorinated solvents and exceeds that of the fluorinated solvents by a substantial measure.
GenTech™ is highly effective in cleaning organic contaminants such as oils, greases, lubricants, coolants, drawing fluids, adhesives, waxes, fluxes and flux residues. GenTech is formulated to be compatible with all metals and a broad range of elastomers and plastics.

GenTech™ contains no HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants) and is not NESHAP regulated. It is not considered a hazardous material by the DOT. Additionally, spent GenTech™ is not a hazardous waste, so disposal is simple and cost effective using our GenTech™ Waste Disposal Program.
GenTech™ is engineered for applications where chlorinated solvents such as TCE, PERC and Methylene Chloride are being used for vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning. When comparing GenTech™ to a chlorinated solvent you get the same cleaning power without the negative environmental effects. GenTech™'s physical properties (no flash point, azeotropic, boiling point, solvency power, stability and ready distillation) and favorable regulatory profile make GenTech™ ideal for replacing chlorinated solvents. Please give us a call at 847.640.8923 or contact us for a free sample.
GenTech™ works in a broad range of vapor degreasing units from Branson to Baron Blakeslee to Finishing Equipment Units. Typically, with a simple adjustment to the temperature settings, you can drop in GenTech™ and continue normal operations. In addition, the similarity of GenTech™'s physical characteristics to chlorinated solvents allows continued use without substantial operator re-training on work practices or solvent maintenance.
