| Short Description |
Chlorinated solvents are popular for cleaning and degreasing because they can dissolve soils, are non-flammable, and are compatible with many types of material. However, their toxicity and adverse environmental effects have resulted in tighter regulations controlling their use and manufacture. The search for less toxic solvents has led to the development of cleaning systems that can save you money. | |
