What Type of Aerosol Cleaner Should I Choose?
From blog.all-spec.com

Are you stuck when trying to choose between an effective aerosol cleaner and a safe one? Manufacturers are no longer making cleaners that contain HCFC-141b because of its ozone-depleting properties. This chemical also goes by the names of 1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane, and CAS #1717-00-06.

States are also starting to control VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) in aerosols because of its chemicals contributing to smog. All of this is very limiting to the consumer, causing frustration and confusion, as well as a costly product. Listed below are some of the different types of cleaners that are out on shelves today.

Water-based: These cleaners are low-cost, mostly non-flammable, and have a low VOC. However, they slowly evaporate so rust may form when cleaning metal.

Flammables: Some flammables include hydrocarbons, alcohols, distillates, and terpenes. These are low cost, but the area must be equipped to handle them because of their high VOC content.

 


Products & Services
Air cleaners re-circulate, filter and purify air for process and environmental applications.
Industrial paints are pigmented liquids or powders that are used to protect and/or beautify substrates.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) analyzers are used to detect concentrations of heavy hydrocarbons in gas or liquid media.
Process equipment and system integration services provide modular systems and components used to process fluids, oil, gases, sea water and powders. This product area includes process skids, distillation equipment, evaporators, desalination systems, secondary recovery systems, chemical injection systems, and solvent recovery systems. 
Industrial sealants are liquid or viscous compounds used between surfaces to contain fluids, prevent leaks, and prevent infiltration of unwanted material. They may also include compounds for filling gaps or seams.
