Bio-Solv Compatibility

Several plastics and metal alloys were evaluated on their resistance towards Bio-Solv. Metals are generally not corroded by the solvent. Prior to any process implementation, actual parts to be cleaned should be tested with Bio-Solv to confirm compatibility.

Table 1 below summarizes the compatibility of several materials evaluated.

Compatibility over time

The degree of compatibility of a material is categorized by exposure time.

  • Visible attack within 1 hour
  • Visible attack within 8 hours
  • No visible attack after 24 hours

Table 2 below summarizes material compatibility by exposure time.
