Asahilkin AK-225 is an environmentally sensible hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) designed to replace chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), perfluorocarbon (PFC), and other HCFCs with high ODP values in a variety of applications. Its selective solvency, physical properties, and ability to form azeotropes make AK-225 ideal for general and precision cleaning, as a carrier for silicone and halogenated lubricants, and as a coolant. It is thermally stable, nonflammable and recoverable by distillation with no decomposition. It has substantially lower global warming potential (GWP) than PFCs and HFCs and an extremely low ozone depletion potential (ODP). AK-225 is exempt from VOC regulations by the U.S. EPA as described in the Oct. 8, 1996 Federal Register. Information provided by Asahi Glass Company, Inc. |
