Quicksolv Fides is a non-flammable, ready-to-use dielectric cleaning solvent from Inventec Performance Chemicals, especially designed to clean light oils and dust from electrical panels without the 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
- 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)
Quicksolv Fides is applied using manual spray equipment, with fast evaporation helping to reduce overall cleaning time. Its safe dielectric properties and non-flammable formulation support safe storage and use around live electrical equipment.
Applications
- Cleaning electrical panels while powered on
- Dielectric cleaning operations
- Removal of light oils and dust from electrical equipment
With a maximum recommended voltage of 40 kV during cleaning, Quicksolv Fides is intended for use on electrical panels and equipment where downtime for power isolation is impractical.
