Manufacturers have to select cleaning compounds which conform to stringent environmental regulations. Viable alternatives to CFC 113 and 1,1,1-trichloroethane should therefore be sought. Some EPA-approved cleaners include aqueous and semi-aqueous cleanners, methylene chloride, waterless organic solvents, volatile methyl siloxanes and other high-tech processes such as supercritical fluid cleaning. Before selecting the right cleaner, the manufacturer should make a thorough assessment of its current cleaning needs.See the full content of this document

Solvent solutions: finding the right chemistry.
Knowing that there are chemical alternatives to CFC-113 and 1,1,1-trichloroethane isn't enough.
You also have to be able to apply their complex chemical equations to your unique applications as well as end use of your product. It's a delicate balance, to say the least. The right decision can be a competitive edge, as it was fo...See the full content of this document
