Coventry 12809 Multi-Phase Carrier Solvent

Product code: 12809
Manufacturer: Chemtronics
Package size: 1 gal / 3.8L
Shelf Life: 2 years

Coventry™ 12809 Multi-Phase Carrier Solvent does not have a flash point (Tag closed cup ASTM D56), so offers greater safety compared to other commonly used carrier solvents. It is a saturated mixture of n-octane and perfluorocarbon (PFC). The n-octane provides outstanding swelling ability while the perfluorocarbon provides an inert vapor blanket above the liquid mixture. These vapors act to suppress the flammability of the n-octane. As the perfluorocarbon evaporates during use, the supplemental PFC moves into the saturated solution.

FEATURES:

• No flash point for greater safety
• Moisture and oxygen free – prevents premature curing
• Swelling of platinum and peroxide cured silicone
• High solubility of silicone and other lubricants.
• Nonflammable, no ozone depleting chemicals
• Low toxicity
• Fast acting / high productivity
• Maximum performance and safety
• Fast acting / high productivity throughput
