Customers choose Vertrel^® because Vertrel^® solvents make cleaning easy, fast, safe and reliable. All of these factors combine together to make Vertrel^® more affordable than any other cleaning technology.

For example, aqueous cleaning systems need to be much larger than most solvent cleaners to accomplish the same cleaning tasks. They are more complex, more expensive, consume more energy, take up more floor space, and clean more slowly than the typical Vertrel^® cleaning system. So, when looking at the total cost per part cleaned the Vertrel^® system is simply less expensive to operate.

Vertrel^® systems also are more versatile. They are able to clean in many applications where water simply doesn't work. Vertrel^® systems can accomplish tasks that water simpy can't do, like removing water from complex shapes, cleaning under tight components and depositing lubricants onto precision surfaces. At some point, the price isn't the issue -- it's simply "getting the job done." In those cases, Vertrel^® wins.

Safety is another important benefit of Vertrel^® systems. The basic solvent is nonhazardous, nonflammable, nonconductive, noncorrosive, and all the other "non's" you can think of. It is an inherently safe process.

The environment is another important issue where Vertrel^® wins. The solvent is completely ozone-safe. Many of the blends are 100% VOC exempt or offer a reduced VOC content. The global warming index for the material is also very low. A cleaning machine using Vertrel^® doesn't use any of our scarce water supply, very little expensive electrity and returns almost no hazardous waste to dispose of. These are very clean machines, in every sense of the word.

In short, wherever there are demanding cleaning problems Vertrel^® specialty fluids are the ideal choice. These are great alternatives to expensive and complex aqueous cleaning systems. They are ideal replacements for ozone-depleting solvents such as CFC-113, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, HCFC-141b, n-propyl bromide (nPB), HFE solvents and HCFC-225, as well as high-global-warming solvents such as perfluorocarbons (PFCs). They are safer than most of the old-style solvents such as nPB, perc or methylene chloride, and generally cheaper than HFE solvents.

When it comes to precision cleaning, Vertrel^® really is the best of all possible worlds.
