Alternatives of Naphtha cleaner, water-based and environmentally friendly formula ~ BIO-CIRCLE FT series quick-drying solvent substitute !!

 

Fast-Drying Solvent Substitute, Cyclohexane-Free, Compliant with EU and International Leading Standards

 

Not only suitable for pre-painting cleaning, but also applicable for pre-adhesion, residue removal, and pre-shipment cleaning of plastic injection parts!!

 

Features of FT

 

The FT series is water-based and serves as an effective substitute for traditional solvents, cellulose thinners, and cold cleaning agents. They are non-flammable and dry much faster on surfaces compared to other water-based products. FT 300 cleans without the need for surfactants, making it particularly suitable for smooth and glossy surfaces such as glass and metal. FT 200 and phosphate-free, providing temporary corrosion protection for cleaned surfaces.

 

Not containing harmful substances means not only simplified storage but also transportation, thereby reducing costs: using water-based FT cleaners as solvent substitutes can save disposal and storage costs, as well as training, insurance, and transportation costs. Additionally, if applied properly, cleaner consumption can be reduced by up to 50% compared to traditional solvents.

 

The low residue formula of FT ensures tighter adhesion and coating!

 

▲ Results of residual testing on aluminum plates sprayed with three types of FT fast-drying cleaners show very low residue levels.

 

Applications

 

FT cleaners are primarily used for surface pretreatment, suitable for removing adhesive residues or contaminants caused by processing oils. Among other applications, they are used for cleaning and degreasing before coating, bonding, labeling, or painting. They can remove residues that adversely affect the adhesion of surface materials. In final cleaning, fingerprints, dust, and light oils are effectively removed.

 

In addition, FT fast-drying cleaners can be applied in four industrial areas:

 

1.Cleaning before bonding

​

Many industrial fields require bonding of various materials, requiring surface cleaning to ensure no residues that may affect the strength and durability of the bond. Some manufacturers may also need to apply labels or safety instructions on equipment surfaces, which also require thorough surface cleaning to prevent labels from peeling off. FT series products can be used in such cases.

 

2.Removal of glue

 

On some workpieces, residues of glue may remain on the surface after previous adhesion. When these adhesives have not completely cured, some people may use alcohol or stain removers. However, alcohol poses certain risks and may not be very effective, while stain removers contain toxic and carcinogenic substances. In such cases, using the non-toxic, low VOC FT series is an excellent choice.

 

3.Product finishing

 

In some industries such as furniture, exhibition or store structures, machinery manufacturing, and plastic injection factories, products require surface polishing and smooth finishes. In these cases, our FT series is an excellent choice.

 

4.Cutting and drilling of aluminum

 

During the cutting of aluminum, industrial alcohol is commonly used as a lubricant due to cleaning issues with industrial lubricants. In this case, using FT 200 is an excellent lubricant and can replace alcohol, reducing the occurrence of accidents related to workplace safety.
