AGC’s AMOLEA AS-300 solvents offer environmentally friendly, precision cleaning

AGC has introduced AMOLEA AS-300 and AS-300AT solvents, categorized as nonhazardous air pollutants with an ozone depletion potential near zero and global warming potential of less than one. The U.S. EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy program lists these solvents as acceptable for electronics cleaning, metals cleaning, precision cleaning, and coating diluents.

The solvents can be used to replace HFC solvents and low-boiling-point HCFO solvents, as well as n-propyl bromide (nPB or 1-BP) and trichloroethylene, which are undergoing risk evaluation under the EPA’s Toxic Substances Control Act.
