Coventry™ Heptane Solvent is a highly purified grade of n-heptane, providing the cleanest chemical grade available. This high-purity solvent was developed to swell silicone and urethane elastomers and tubing for fitment onto components, and then evaporate allowing the tubing to shrink back to its original dimensions. It is also used as a silicone lubricant carrier fluid for devices. Coventry Heptane Precision Cleaning Solvent is engineered to offer a low residue, high purity grade of solvent excelling in operations that require high solvency and very low residue. Heptane is not water-soluble, colorless and volatile liquid with a hydrocarbon odor.
Coventry Heptane Precision Cleaning Solvent is used to clean and prepare a variety of surfaces within critical environments:
• Swelling elastomers
• Carrier fluid for depositing silicone lubricants
• Cleaning
• Extraction
• Drying agent
