Vapour degreasing solvent for precision parts cleaning
EnSolv® CC-A vapour degreasing solvent for precision parts cleaning
The EnSolv® CC-A formulation for precision parts cleaning responds to the need for high performance vapour degreasing solvents for critical cleaning in general engineering, aerospace, medical optical and electrical industries.
EnSolv® CC-A removes cutting oils, lubricants, lapping compounds grinding pastes and water based cutting oils or fluids. This complex synergistic blend utilises environmentally compliant solvents combined with selected surfactants to remove oils and lubricants to the highest standards for critical cleaning applications and releases and suspends inorganic solids and soils such as fingerprints, polishing compounds and grinding paste from finely finished and highly polished surfaces such as stainless steel and plated parts, optical lenses and components for medical appliances.
IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Suitable for processing temperature sensitive components as well as the conventional engineering substrates. The very low surface tension cleans through holes on castings and penetrates between overlapping metal spot welds eliminating oil leaching in paint and powder coatings during oven curing.
Easy handling – Cleaned components are dry and comfortable to handle immediately at the ideal temperature for painting or powder coating. No time lost waiting for parts to cool which allows immediate quality control testing or assembly of machined parts due to minimal dimensional changes.
Cleaning cycles reduced, productivity improved with output doubled compared to conventional solvents.
Minimises flash rusting on mild steel cleaned components due to the advanced stabiliser/inhibitor package compared to alternative formulations.
Compatible with mixed metal components. No staining of yellow metals, bronze, copper, aluminium.
Reduced maintenance – unique additive suspends contaminants in boiling solvent sump preventing tar formation and continuously cleans heating surfaces. Longer periods between cleanouts reduces labour costs and solvent losses.

Corrosion protection – Reduce fretting corrosion

Corrosion protection – SuperCORR A helps to reduce fretting corrosion on gas turbine connectors.
LP Gas Turbines are used throughout the world by extraction industries and manufacturing plants in remote and hostile locations for essential power production. Dusty and wet environments in deserts, mines, grinding mills, pulp and paper mills and on land or sea drilling rigs for gas and oil production. Turbines powering aircraft services while stationary connect and disconnect many times a day in extreme conditions. These applications and locations test connector sealing continuously allowing dust or water to penetrate. This with the flexing of the connecting cables allows sufficient movement between the metal surfaces of the connecting pins to produce fretting corrosion which reduces, interrupts or produces failures in supply. Regular maintenance of electrical connectors is essential to be certain of uninterrupted supply.
RUB TEST RESULTS
Super CORR A is an aerosol lubricant containing corrosion preventive compounds.
A manufacturer of connectors tested Super CORR A to see what the “life” of the lubricant was in a “rub test”. The typical test is 20,000 cycles, i.e. unplug, plug in is one cycle. The test results demonstrated that after 20,000 cycles there were no failures. It was decided to take it one more step and run the same tests for 200,000 cycles. The results again showed no indications of galling or scoring on the connectors at all. The connector looked and tested as good as new. This test was run under clean conditions in a laboratory but demonstrates the effectiveness Super CORR A.
As it meets Mil MIL-DTL-87177B (revised MIL-L-87177A) specifications it is used by the U.S. Air Force to protect the intricate workings of the F-16 and F-15 fighter jets and by the U.S. Navy on the P 3 Orion electronic surveillance aircraft. Savings for the U.S. government is estimated at $50 million per year. Commercial Aviation aircraft manufacturers recommend it for avionics and electrical switches and connectors and close mechanical application, especially where flights are in salt fog or high humidity.
Containing extremely long-lasting, proprietary anti-corrosive inhibitors Super CORR A provides a superior lubrication coefficient and protects components against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, surface static electricity, corona, and other electromigration problems. The super thin non-flammable lubricant film is only 7 microns (0.007mm) thick and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides or halogens to meet the RoHS directive. It is unexcelled in preventing deterioration and contamination on all surfaces of electronic equipment.
Very fast drying, environmentally acceptable solvents are used as carriers and propellants which will not affect most plastics, substrates, metals or other materials used in connector manufacture. The aerosols are supplied with probes which allow access to pins and connector tubes where the low surface tension repels water, dirt dust and metal particles from blind holes and surfaces to produce thoroughly clean holes and surfaces before a second application applies the lubricant film. Reconnection to the supply with cleaned sections of the connector ensures reliable operation even in the most testing of environments. One can of Super CORR A allows this essential task to be carried out in any conditions quickly, easily and securely.

Methylene chloride based vapour degreasing solvent with a unique blend of surfactants giving it superior cleaning quality
EnSolv® CC-A is a methylene chloride based vapour degreasing solvent with a unique blend of surfactants giving it superior cleaning quality
EnSolv® CC-A responds to the need for high performance vapour degreasing solvents for critical cleaning in general engineering, aerospace, medical optical and electrical industries. It builds on 30 years of experience supplying the EnSolv® range of powerful and reliable vapour degreasing solvents to industries worldwide
EnSolv® CC-A removes cutting oils, lubricants, lapping compounds grinding pastes and water based cutting oils or fluids. This complex synergistic blend utilises environmentally compliant solvents combined with selected surfactants to remove oils and lubricants to the highest standards for critical cleaning applications and releases and suspends inorganic solids and soils such as fingerprints, polishing compounds and grinding paste from finely finished and highly polished surfaces such as stainless steel and plated parts, optical lenses and components for medical appliances.
SAFE FOR USERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmentally friendly cleaning all the constituents of EnSolv® CC-A are environment friendly and compliant with REACH. This proprietary blend has no global warming potential (GWP) no ozone depletion potential (ODP) does not produce ozone at ground level and is biodegradable. EnSolv® CC-A addresses many of the problems faced by the engineering industries in meeting environmental legislation.
Easily biodegradable all the components of the EnSolv® CC-A formulation are widely used in industry but only trace elements have been detected in atmosphere and they are not detectable in rivers, oceans or ground water. This is attributed to its high volatility and biodegradability by naturally occurring organisms. Released into the atmosphere it is photochemically degraded reacting with naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals producing only carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride simple chemicals already present in the environment.
No depletion of the ozone layer and no global warming. EnSolv® CC-A has an atmospheric lifetime of only 6 months and does not accumulate in the atmosphere so is not transported into the ozone layer. The most urgent challenge for the future is reduction of gases which produce global warming. The solvents and any breakdown products of this formulation do not produce greenhouse gases and the reduced energy needs of vapour degreasing with EnSolv® CC-A lower the power station production of CO2 for equivalent work throughput.
No ground level ozone production – authorities are becoming increasingly concerned at ground level pollution causing increased asthma and bronchial diseases much of it due to photochemical production of Ozone affecting children and adults. EnSolv® CC-A has a minimal impact on ozone formation with an extremely low photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP).
Reduced solvent emissions (VOCs). Improving air quality is a high priority for the European Union and governments worldwide with the elimination of VOCs as a high priority. The use of EnSolv® CC-A with its excellent environmental profile assists the engineering industry to meet increasingly severe environmental legislation on solvent emissions allowing continued use of vapour degreasing with all the production benefits it offers.
