TUW-39A Fluorinated Solvent
TUW-39A is an azeotropic blend of cis‑1‑Chloro‑3,3,3‑trifluoropropene (≤30%) and trans‑1,2‑Dichloroethylene (≥68%) with ≤2% additives. As a true azeotrope, it maintains a constant boiling point (37 °C) and consistent composition through repeated distillation and reflux cycles, making it ideal for vapor degreasing equipment.
Key Features & Benefits
Non‑flammable (no flash point)
High cleaning performance with moderate‑to‑strong solvency
Compatible with most polymeric substrates, elastomers, and a wide range of metals (aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, titanium, zinc, etc.)
Recyclable and reusable
RoHS compliant and not classified as SVHC
Not a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP)
Near‑zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP ≈ 0)
Very low Global Warming Potential (GWP < 1)
