  • Ensolv is not classified as a carcinogen 
  • Very high solvency power, excellent fast cleaning 
  • Mid range temperature operation, reduced energy use, faster cleaning cycle, easier handling 
  • Ensolv can be used in any vapour degreasing equipment with improved productivity and lower maintenance
  • Safe for the environment, low Global warming and ozone depletion potentials 
  • US EPA Snap approval
  • Boeing approved replacement for trichloroethylene approved by major OEMs worldwide 
  • Technical support and training available

Industries Served:

  • Aerospace

    • Enviro Tech has been working with customers in the aerospace industry for more than 20 years.
    • EnSolv 5408 was developed with a unique, patented stabilizer package, engineered to meet or exceed the stringent stability and cleaning requirements of BAC 5408.
    • EnSolv 5408 cleans as effectively or better than TCE and PERC, but is non chlorinated, non hazardous, non carcinogenic, environmentally friendlier and less likely to create stress corrosion or hydrogen embrittlement in titanium.

  • Electronics

    • Enviro Tech’s EnSolv-Ionic formula is the leading nPB cleaning solution for electronic equipment.
    • EnSolv® Ionic n-propyl bromide (npb) solvent defluxer was developed to not only remove rosin flux, no-clean flux, oil, grease and wax contaminants, but also to eliminate residual halide salts, ions and other polar contaminants that often cause component failures.

  • Metal Working

    • We support customers across a wide range of industries, including those who are consistently in need of metal cleaning solutions.
    • EnSolv’s patented azeotropic formula provides for superior stability, acid neutralization, white metals reaction prevention, soil lifting and rust inhibition. In most vapor degreasing applications, the addition of extra stabilizer boosters is not required and process control maintenance is very painless.
