Aircraft Approved Safety Solvent

[ click to zoom the image ]

Description

Citra-Safe is an ultra safe industrial solvent produced from all natural, non-petroleum distillates. Citra-Safe is far safer to work with than chlorinated petroleum solvents, M.E.K., III Trichloroethane, Xylene, Toluene.

Characteristics

▪ Citra-Safe exhibits no toxic properties, has no threshold limit value or Permissible Exposure Level limits imposed upon its usage in the workplace and has no carcinogenic properties. In fact, Citra-Safe does not contain any hazardous components as defined in the latest United States O.S.H.A. regulations 29 CFR 1910.


▪ Citra-Safe is literally a bio-degradable solvent replacement for mineral spirits, thinners and chlorinated solvents. The use of Citra-Safe reduces risk of hazardous chemical spills, eliminates most hazardous waste disposal costs, and eliminate the health hazards associated with petroleum solvents. The absence of any petroleum hydrocarbons in Citra-Safe allows disposal after ‘soil’ release into satisfactorily operating effluent treatment plants subject to local government approval.

▪ Citra-Safe has been successfully used as a replacement for many dangerous solvents including III Trichloroethane, M.E.K, Acetone, Stoddard solvent, Mineral Spirit, Perchloroethylene, Xylene, Toluene, Freon and many other flammable or toxic solvents.

Application

Citra-Safe removes tough greases, oils, tars and other contaminates from metals, painted surfaces, ceramic, fiberglass and many plastics. It is also effective in removing some glues, and resins, and can be used to remove oil based stains from carpets and upholstery. Its ability to evaporate totally after use makes Citra-Safe an ideal replacement for hazardous chlorinated solvents in cleaning electrical parts and apparatus. Its ability to safely clean polyethylene grease and ‘’Icky Pic’’ from flooded telephone cables and semi-conductors has made Citra-Safe the solvent of choice for many telephone and power utilities.
