Description
POSITRON embodies a series of important improvementsover hydrocarbon/terpene blends previously used toreplace 1,1,1 trichloroethane and CFC-113. POSITRONdries more rapidly and completely than any other terpene-based solvent available today. Thanks to the use of apatented distillation methodology, this material has verylow odor.
POSITRON contains no oxidizers, and will not causemoisture condensation problems since it does notevaporate too rapidly. Unlike other electrical solvents,POSITRON is non-toxic, (see MSDS).
Benefits
- Non-toxic
- Lower odor
- Faster dry-time
- More aggressive
- Ultra-low residue
- Safe & easy to use
- No hazardous fumes
- High dielectric strength, (ASTM D-877 test procedures to 48,000 volts.)
- No SARA or RCRA listed ingredients
Applications
For use by customers seeking a high-performance environmentally preferred alternative. POSITRON is used for a variety of electrical cleaning tasks. Use POSITRON in place of chlorinated solvents for all types of electrical and mechanical cleaning.
Use undiluted. Spray or wipe POSITRON on surface to be cleaned; oil dirt and carbon will flow off surface. If additional cleaning is desired, wipe with rag or brush.
