Quicksolv Fides is a non-flammable, ready-to-use dielectric cleaning solvent from Inventec Performance Chemicals. Inventec designed it specifically to clean light oils and dust from electrical panels, so you don’t need to switch off the electric power.
Quicksolv Fides Features
- Non-toxic and thermally stable
- Non-flammable, with no flash point, eliminating the need for ATEX equipment
- Also compatible with a wide range of plastics, metals and elastomers
- Ready-to-use, with no dilution required
- Low surface tension (10.8 dynes/cm), enabling fast drying and efficient cleaning in tight spaces
- Excellent dielectric performance, with dielectric strength above 60 kV at a 0.1″ gap
- No global warming potential (GWP) and no ozone depletion potential (ODP)
- Carries Inventec’s Greenway product certification (GW-Score 21)
You apply Quicksolv Fides using manual spray equipment, and its fast evaporation also helps reduce overall cleaning time. As a result, its safe dielectric properties and non-flammable formulation support safe storage and use around live electrical equipment.
Quicksolv Fides Applications
- Cleaning electrical panels while powered on
- Dielectric cleaning operations
- Removal of light oils and dust from electrical equipment
Therefore, with a maximum recommended voltage of 40 kV during cleaning, Quicksolv Fides suits electrical panels and equipment where downtime for power isolation is impractical. In fact, it’s ideal for residue-free cleaning of live equipment in critical environments such as data centres.
