Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE

Description:

Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE is a high performance, environmentally friendly, non-flammable solvent. It is chemically inert, non- flammable, very low in toxicity, and compatible with most metals, plastics, and elastomers. Castrol offers two perfluorinated solvents: Fluoroclean™ HE and Fluoroclean™ X100. Fluoroclean™ HE is recommended for use in cleaning perfluorinated oils and greases and Fluoroclean™ X100 is recommended for use in grease plating applications. See the data sheet for Fluoroclean™ X100 for more information.
