Bio Solv Compatibility with other Materials
Compatibility: Bio-Solv Can Be Used on Steel, Rubber, Plastics and More
One of the primary factors in selecting a green cleaner is compatibility. To help you decide whether Bio-Solv is right for your business, we’ve evaluated several plastics and metal alloys for their resistance to our green cleaning solvent. Findings indicate that the majority of tested materials are compatible with our solvent cleaner and because it is not a water-based solvent, Bio-Solv doesn’t cause metal corrosion. However, you should first test actual parts that need to be cleaned to confirm compatibility prior to any process implementation.
Degree of Compatibility of Composite Materials to Bio-Solv
An overview of each of the first three categories is presented for composite materials.
The degree of compatibility of a material is categorized by exposure time:
| No visible attack after 24 hours | Visible attack within 8 hours | Visible attack within 1 hour |
| nylon | Buna-B-rubber | PVC |
| teflon | Viton | Polycarbonate |
| PVDF | Silicone | ABS |
| Aflas | EPDM | Tygone (special) |
| Kalrez | Choropren rubber | C-flex |
| PTFE | Epoxy amide | Pharmed |
| polyethylene | Norprene Polystyrene | |
| polypropylene | Polysulphate | |
| oil free EPDM | Neoprene gloves | |
| Latex natural rubber gloves | Polyamide | |
| Polyurethane paints | ||
| Vinyl gloves | ||
| Acrylic |
