ABSTRACT
Cleaning applications are critical to many manufacturing processes, which means that the selection of the appropriate cleaning solvent can be important to the success of the entire production process. Each year, however, it seems that an increasing number of environmental and safety requirements necessitate changes in the materials used in these cleaning processes. Concerns over ¯ammability, toxicity, and environmental issues including ozone depletion and climate change have displaced many of the solvents that were once used in cleaning.
