Topklean MC 20D is a solvent from Inventec Performance Chemicals, especially designed to replace solvents with a high HSE impact, such as nPB and perchloroethylene, in vacuum cleaning processes. It removes hydrocarbon oils and greases from metals, glasses, ceramics and most plastics.
Topklean MC 20D Features
- Transparent, colorless liquid
- Environmentally friendly alternative to perchloroethylene and nPB
- No aromatics or halogenated compounds
- High flash point, classed as non-flammable for transport
- Excellent solubility of hydrocarbon oils and greases
- Compatible with all metals, glasses, ceramics and many plastics
- Thermally and chemically stable, with no additives required
- Supports long bath-life through continuous recycling
Topklean MC 20D has low toxicity, with no ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP). It is qualified for aerospace industry applications under the SAFRAN IN 1500B standard, reflecting its suitability for demanding precision-cleaning environments.
Applications
- Oil and grease removal from industrial parts
- Cutting oil removal from titanium dental implants
- Aerospace industry cleaning applications
Topklean MC 20D can be used in both immersion and vapor phase cleaning processes, with drying carried out under vacuum to leave parts free of residual solvent. Its thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of materials make it suitable for both production and maintenance cleaning workflows.
