Case Study: Converting an HFE-Based Solvent

Q: Are there more concerns other than PFAS for EH&S?

A: Yes, there are methods to make sure you do not go beyond the safe PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) limit. Since it is a solvent, it does not typically go to drain, so some people use an evaporator in house. The product is also not flammable.

Q: Will KYZEN assist in converting a vapor degreaser to a new solvent?

A: Absolutely. We would help with testing, and any changeout, draining, or flush out on sight. Also, we can assist in temperature settings, to make sure KYZEN SLV901 will run how it should.

Q: How can I check if a material I use contains PFAS or other harmful materials?

A: Section 3 of the SDS will list certain chemical CAS numbers, which you can look up online. However, the best way is to contact the supplier of the chemical.
