ABZOLTM Cleaners
Soon you wont be able to
use
some of your best cleaning solvents.
But that doesnt mean you have to settle
for second-rate cleaning performance.
Ideal for circuit boards, bearings, precision tooling and metal parts. |

100 PPM WORKPLACE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE BASED ON ALBEMARLE 90-DAY INHALATION STUDY |
Now theres a new solvent from Albemarle
with cleaning performance comparable to many chlorinated
solvents.
Superior solvency and similar physical
properties
make ABZOL cleaner an excellent choice for first-rate cleaning
performance.
And it contains none of the CFCs
and other chlorinated solvents that could be phased out.
Better
All-Around Degreasing Performance
Laboratory tests show that ABZOL cleaner is
a very effective degreaser
for removing polyol esters, mineral oil, grease and silicone oil.
In fact, Albemarles ABZOL cleaner performance test results
are comparable or
better than test results for the chlorinated solvents you may be
using now.

Tests
in Albemarle Corporation laboratories compared the
ability of various solvents to remove contaminate oils and greases from steel wool pads at room temperature. |
Compatible With Most Materials
ABZOL cleaner is ideal for circuit boards,
bearings, precision tooling and many
other applications. It passes Mil Spec corrosion tests for vapor
degreasing agents
on aluminum, magnesium and titanium (Military Specification
T81533A 4.4.9).
