Benefits
Non-polar dissolving power
Its non-polar dissolving power is close to that of aromatic solvents such as toluene and halogenated solvents such as dichloromethane.
Reusable by distillation
It can be recovered by distillation and used in a single-chamber vapor degreaser with vacuum distillation and a vapor rinse.
No residue after drying
It contains no surfactant, so it leaves no residue when it dries.
Rinse with or without water
It suits water-free cleaning, especially where a water rinse is not allowed. A deionized-water rinse is also possible.
Reaches under components
Low surface tension helps it remove wax from under low-standoff components.
