Tried And Tested Vapour Degreasing Solvent For Critical Cleaning
CONTENT ON THIS PAGE IS RETAINED FOR INFORMATION ONLY
DUE TO n-Propyl bromide now being included in Annex 14 of REACH
EnviroTech Europe Ltd (ETE) continue to publish it as historical information and to record changes occurring in legislation which have affected decisions on formulations and equipment used in vapour degreasing - the most effective, quickest, flexible and cheapest cleaning system used in industry.
EnSolv® invented and patented by EnviroTech has been a market leader all over the world for vapour degreasing. It is based on n-bromopropane (nPB) which now cannot be used as a vapour degreaser within the UK or EU without authorisation.
Archived information about EnSolv® can be found using the Discontinued Products & Resources navigation menu on this page.
Using experience accumulated over 40 years supplying and supporting users of the vapour degreasing process ETE specialists have developed “drop in” alternatives:
ProSolv®, ProSolv5408e® and EnSolv CC-A® give the same or improved level of performance and economy as the original EnSolv® products.
Please contact our advisers who are available to discuss your needs and propose the best replacement product.
Or please click here to return to our vapour degreasing products homepage for information about our current products.
EnSolv vapour degreasing solvents distributed by EnviroTech Europe Ltd has been used over the last 30 years by hundreds of companies and for thousands of different applications.
With the unique stabiliser/inhibitor system giving stability and long life for degreasing tanks, reducing maintenance costs and low solvent losses EnSolv is very widely used and approved. Intense worldwide competition needs very tight control of manufacturing costs. EnSolv vapour degreasing solvents gives our users a tried and tested, economical product with the lowest operating costs.
n-Propyl Bromide (nPb) update
For more than 30 years n-Propyl Bromide (nPB) has offered users a safer solvent as a replacement for the carcinogen trichloroethylene as customers using EnSolv will know. Unfortunately, European legislation has set a “sunset date” for the use of nPB, the solvent used as the base material for EnSolv. The inclusion of nPB into Annex XIV has been challenged in the European Court by our supplier, the only manufacturer in the EU. EnviroTech Europe Ltd have always sourced from this consistently high quality manufacturer rather than search out cheaper often lower quality alternatives from Asia.
The Court was very receptive to all the points made. Despite our firm belief that the inclusion of nPB into Annex XIV was not carried out on the basis of all available evidence and we expected a decision earlier, this has been delayed until later in the year. EnviroTech will inform all clients of the outcome as soon as the decision is known.
Just in case EnviroTech are moving forward.
EnviroTech Europe are in the final stages of development of some new and exciting “drop in” cost effective replacements for all our valued customers old and new.
EnSolv CC-A a unique blend of dichloromethane with surfactants for improved cleaning and lifting of surface soils.
ProSolv a new formulation based on 1,2 trans-dichloroethylene with further developments in our laboratories of other blends to complement the range.
If a change is needed these products are available with full technical advice and support to give the same economical, high quality vapour degreasing and service for uninterrupted production. Details are available on our website.
As specialists in cleaning technology our new Aquus CL-One water based general cleaning solution is a game changer for manufacturing industry, petrochemicals, aviation and institutions with one product, safe on all substrates, for removal of oils, grease and odours.
Don’t Panic.
If you are using EnSolv products now, contact our sales team to discuss “nPB sunset data” we have the information you need to help you prepare and to change to the most economical best alternative. Not using EnSolv! get in touch anyway, our expertise is free and it will probably be to your advantage.

Replace Toxic Solvents For Industrial Cleaning
Use Clarea degreasers to replace toxic solvents
for industrial cleaning
Clarea solvent degreasers are a newly formulated range of highly refined hydrocarbon based degreasing solvents with very high cleaning power and low odour, which can be used as an alternative to other hazardous solvents used throughout industry to remove oils, greases, hydraulic fluids cutting fluids and a wide variety of hydrocarbon based protective coatings.
Clarea solvents can be used in dip, brush or in hand-wipe applications.
Clarea HC40 has a relatively fast evaporation rate with low odour and is suited to hand wipe and brush cleaning and air dries while Clarea HC62 is not classified as flammable and is typically used with immersion dip and soak tanks for heavily contaminated parts where oven or forced air drying is acceptable.
Clarea solvents leave minimal residues on drying and are compatible with all metals and many plastics and composite materials. Clarea degreasing solvents can reduce usage and contain no halogens such as chlorine or fluorine so do not deplete the ozone layer or contribute to global warming.
Clarea solvent cleaners are one of the ranges of solvent based cleaners and surface treatment products from cleaning specialists EnviroTech Europe Ltd.
We can provide you with a Material Safety Data Sheets, independent laboratory reports, product samples and technical assistance.

SuperCORR A Protects From Corrosion
SuperCORR A maintains performance of thinner gold plating used on electrical contacts to protect from corrosion.
SuperCORR A ultra-thin film dry lubricant prevents galling corrosion caused by vibration on printed circuit leads and connectors.
Advances in gold plating technology allows manufacturers to reduce plating thickness on the substrate metal used for contacts in electrical connectors.
The thickness of gold plating is decreasing and becoming thinner over time which reduces manufacturing costs as gold becomes increasingly expensive.
Reducing thickness of gold plating however can result in failures caused by corrosion. Minute irregularities in the surface of the connector’s base metal leads to irregular or uneven wear causing the “high spots” on the contacts to wear through the gold plating. Using SuperCORR A aerosols prevents or delays corrosion and subsequent failures.
TESTING SuperCORR A IN CONNECTOR “RUB TEST”.
SuperCORR A is a lubricant containing corrosion preventive compounds, and as is the case with all lubricants they will be worn off over time. A manufacturer of connectors tested SuperCORR 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 USB connectors. The USB connector looked and tested as good as new.
MILITARY USES OF SuperCORR A
As it is compliant with Mil-L-87177A specifications SuperCORR A is used by the U.S. Air Force to protect the intricate workings of the F-16 Fighter Jet 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 electrical and close mechanical application, especially where flights are in salt fog or high humidity.
Containing extremely long-lasting, proprietary anti-corrosive inhibitors SuperCORR A provides a superior lubrication coefficient and protects components against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, surface static electricity, corona, and other electro migration problems. The ultra-thin, non-flammable lubricant film is only 7 microns (0.0007 inch) thick and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides or halogens to meet the EU RoHS directive. It is unexcelled in preventing deterioration and contamination on all surfaces of electronic equipment.
