ABOUT THIS BOOKLET
|
|
This booklet presents
about 20 solvents. Its purpose is not to recommend particular products but to increase awareness of alternative solvents that do not destroy the ozone layer.
|
Price, performance, health and
safety risks vary from one product to another. Every solvent
has certain limitations. It is toxic to some degree and it
may cause cancer or be a fire hazard. An understanding of
strengths and weaknesses is essential for taking informed
decisions.
|
Evidently, not a single solvent can address the requirements of every industry using CTC. For every application a host of alternative options may exist of which the best need to be identified in a careful process of selection and trial. This booklet aims to guide you in this challenging task.
