SOLVASOL 1, 2 & 3 Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Solvasol 1, 2 & 3 are industrial solvents used in various cleaning, degreasing, and paint removal applications. They are composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons, providing effective removal of grease, oil, and other contaminants from metal surfaces, machinery, and equipment. Solvasol solvents are commonly employed in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, where they help maintain cleanliness and improve the performance of mechanical systems. Proper handling and storage of Solvasol solvents are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as they are flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential when working with Solvasol solvents. Their effectiveness as industrial solvents makes them valuable chemicals in numerous cleaning and degreasing applications, although their use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
