FluoSolv™ AP solvent blending technology leverages the chemical solvency of the fluid as well as its physical properties such as high density, low surface tension and low viscosity for optimal performance. Our research has shown that to clean metal surfaces in the shortest amount of time the solvent must flow extremely close to the surface to “catch & release” contaminants. It is ideally balanced to deliver performance, worker safety and desirable environmental properties.
- Non-ozone depleting chemical (ODC)
- Drop-in replacement; no equipment modifications
- Low global warming potential (GWP)
- Low toxicity; high allowable exposure limit (AEL)
- No ceiling on instantaneous exposure
- Chemically stable; will not go acid
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Area
- Solvent Recycling
FluoSolv™ AP is a stable azeotropic blend easy to reclaim and reuse by simple distillation process. Commercially available modular recycling units can easily be added to realize sizable savings in solvent usage. Solvent recovery yields are typically in the range of 80 to 95%.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Material Compatibility
FluoSolv™ AP is compatible with all metals, ceramic and other non-conducting materials. Most elastomeric materials are compatible except fluoroelastomers such as Viton & Kalrez which tend to swell. It is recommended that all materials be tested prior to use.
Compatible Additional Testing Required
Metals Aluminum, Copper, S/S, Titanium,Brass, Tungsten
- Elastomers Neoprene, Butyl Rubber Viton, Kalrez PLastics HDPE, PTFE, Nylon, PVC, Epoxy, Phenolic Acrylic, ABS
Safety & Health
- Worker Safety
Data from acute toxicity studies of various ingredients has demonstrated that FluoSolv™AP blend has low toxicity. It has a calculated AEL (Acceptable Exposure Limit) of 335 ppm based on its individual components. None of the ingredients in FluoSolv™ AP have any chronic or acute toxicity associated with them which makes it a worker friendly solvent. Please refer to the MSDS for information on detailed exposure limits and toxicity-related data. NuGenTec FluoSolv™ AP exhibits no closed cup or open cup flash point and is not classified as a flammable liquid per established definitions by NFPA or DOT, however being volatile, vapors may become flammable in air. Flash point data and vapor flammability limits in air are shown.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging & Availability
FluoSolv™ AP is available in three package sizes
- 55-gal lined metal drums (net wt. 55)
- 5-gal lined pails (net wt. 55 lb.)
- 1 gal amber glass bottles (net wt. 11 lb.)
Note: Drum & Pail have phenolic liner. All package sizes are inventoried at Emeryville, CA & Atlanta, GA. Lead times are 1-3 business days after receipt of order.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
FluoSolv™ AP is thermally & chemically a very stable solvent. It is non-reactive,has low water solubility and will not oxidize or degrade when exposed to air. It is not affected by any sunlight or other sources of UV radiation. Common industrial practice should be implemented for storage; keep away from human food source and extreme temperature conditions. Freezing temperatures will cause the drums to compress and hot conditions will balloon the drum. The product in any case is perfectly usable.
