Product Overview
EnSolv® 5408 is a Boeing-approved, n-propyl bromide-based cleaning solvent designed for precision cleaning in high-stakes industries like aerospace and electronics. Its high solvency power and enhanced stability make it exceptionally effective for removing oils, greases, flux residues, and other contaminants from metal and electronic components. With low surface tension for penetrating complex parts and a fast-drying formulation, EnSolv® 5408 offers a powerful, economical alternative to traditional halogenated solvents.
