EnSolv-5408 is the ONLY Boeing Approved nPB based vapor degreasing solvent for aerospace applications. Finally, a safe and effective alternative is available to replace Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Perchloroethylene (PERC) for those required to meet the uncompromising standards of Boeing's BAC 5408 Vapor Degreasing Specification.
EnSolv-5408 was developed with a unique, patented stabilizer package, engineered to meet or exceed the stringent stability and cleaning requirements of BAC 5408. EnSolv-5408 cleans as effectively or better than TCE or PERC, and is non chlorinated, non hazardous, safer to use and reduces the risk of stress corrosion or hydrogen embrittlement in titanium.
EnSolv-5408 is approved by Boeing Aircraft Corporation under BAC5408 via PSD 6-59 and PSD 6-62 as an acceptable alternative to TCE and PERC. PSD 6-62 additionally permits the use of EnSolv Spec 490 Stabilizer Booster mixture. EnSolv-5408 is the ONLY n-Propyl Bromide based solvent to succeed through the rigors of over four years of intensive testing by Boeing and is listed on the QPL of BMS 11-11.
Boeing St. Louis (McDonald-Douglas) has also approved EnSolv-5408 Precision Solvent to their PS 12020 Rev. Y Aerospace Vapor Degreasing Specification. EnSolv-5408 is the only nPB degreasing solvent approved for both commercial and military applications.
