ABZOLTM Cleaners

Soon you won’t be able to use
some of your best cleaning solvents.

But that doesn’t mean you have to settle
for second-rate cleaning performance.

 

Ideal for
circuit boards,
bearings,
precision tooling
and metal parts.

BASED ON
ALBEMARLE 90-DAY
INHALATION STUDY

 

Now there’s 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, Albemarle’s 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).
