Promosolv Neo B1 PFAS-Free Degreasing Solvent
Promosolv Neo B1 is a PFAS-free, non-flammable degreasing solvent from Inventec Performance Chemicals, developed as a drop-in replacement for trichlorethylene, NPB and other solvents. Specifically, it offers reduced health, safety and environmental impact while maintaining equivalent degreasing power.
Because of its azeotropic formulation, the solvent maintains a consistent composition throughout repeated distillation cycles. As a result, cleaning performance stays predictable across the working life of the bath.
Promosolv Neo B1 Features
- PFAS-free formulation.
- Also, no global warming potential (GWP <1) and no ozone depletion potential (ODP).
- For example, removes a wide range of contaminants, including oils, greases, waxes and particles.
- In addition, very low surface tension (17 dynes/cm) for penetrating tight spaces.
- Also, non-flammable, with no flash point.
- Likewise, azeotropic formulation.
- Furthermore, qualified for aerospace industry use under Boeing BAC 5750 / ASTM D 1353.
- Finally, drop-in replacement for 3M Novec 71DE, 72DE, 73DE and 8200.
How It Works
Together, the very low surface tension and vapor phase process let the solvent penetrate tight spaces and complex geometries that other cleaning methods struggle to reach. Because it is thermally and chemically stable, the formulation also resists breakdown across repeated cleaning cycles. Consequently, it removes oils, greases, waxes and particles without leaving residues. In addition, its low corrosive impact protects sensitive components during cleaning.
Applications
Generally, manufacturers reach for Promosolv Neo B1 wherever precision components need deep cleaning without residue. For example, aerospace and electronic component cleaning both call for its combination of degreasing power and material compatibility. Similarly, selective removal of varnishes, adhesives, inks and paints benefits from its broad solvency.
- For instance, removal of oils and greases, excluding water-based lubricants.
- Also, wax removal.
- Likewise, particle removal.
- Similarly, selective removal of varnishes, adhesives, inks and paints.
- Also, vapor phase cleaning processes.
- In addition, aerospace and electronic component cleaning.
Promosolv Neo B1 Recycling and Sustainability
Notably, used Promosolv Neo B1 can be recovered and recycled through Inventec’s Ecoprogram service, supporting a long bath-life and continuous recycling capability during use. Additionally, the solvent carries Inventec’s Greenway product designation (GW-Score 24), reflecting its reduced environmental footprint compared to legacy solvents.
