To analyze alternative electrical cleaners, we must first understand their key functional properties. One key feature of trichlor is its quick evaporation. You can clean a surface with it, then watch the solvent quickly disappear. This powerful solvent would swell many polymer materials if they were soaked in it, but trichor evaporates quickly and the contact time is minimal. A. A common control or reference solvent is often used.
Butyl acetate is one such reference, and is used in the data below.
Note also that water is included as an additional reference, although it is not a suitable electrical cleaning solvent. Note the broad range in evaporation rates of the solvents in Table 1, a factor of 8,000 from the top to the bottom of this list. While TR and NF are expensive specialty solvents, the cost of use is minimized by packaging them in small quantities with just enough to do the job. This question is best answered by studying the combustion properties of fast-dry alternatives. Flash point is a measure of solvent combustibility often used in shipping and disposal regulations.
