Developing CYBERSOLV 141-K

Q: Will the Transportation Regulations change if I switch to C-141K?

A: No. Although our chemistry has slightly different components, all the transportation regulations are the same between the previous and current generations.

Q: How will the density difference affect the amount of solvent I receive?

A: This is a very good question. There will be no effect on the aerosol version since these are filled by volume, so you will receive the same volume you received with the previous product. However, if you purchase the product in liquid version, it would have an impact, which would be positive for you. The reason is that in the liquid version, the product is packaged by weight, so if the density decreases in the new generation, they will receive more gallons of product to meet the same weight of the version. I give you the example of the 45-pound liquid can version. In the previous version, However, in the new generation, the K version, since it has a lower density, 4.8 Gallons are required to reach the same 45 pounds. Therefore you will receive 15% more of the volume of the new solvent, which is an additional benefit. for you.

Q: Are there other trans-blends that are sustainable?

A: I’m sure there must be other alternative versions. However, I don’t know the formulations closely, so I couldn’t guarantee they are sustainable. Something important that I must mention to you is that while 3M is leaving the market, other competitors are offering alternative products that claim to have the same performance and effectiveness, and what they are doing is that they are replacing the solvent that 3M manufactured with the same one. Solvent chemicals are only acquired outside the United States, generally from China or any other Asian country where they are not regulating these products. The problem is that they are not removing the PFAS in these formulations. So be very careful with these solvents of dubious origin. If you are looking to have solvents that are truly PFAS-free to comply with the environmental regulations of your country and your company, make sure you purchase your solvents from sources that you can trust and certify that their products are free of PFAS, and check Check the safety data sheets for these products to confirm that they do not contain these compounds.
