Description

CITRA-SAFE®

CITRA-SAFE® replaces MEK, Toluene and MEK/Toluene Blends. It is used for Surface preparation, general solvent cleaning, and cleaning prior to sealing and painting for aircraft. It is ideal for precision cleaning of metal parts and for ultra-sound cleaning, immersion cleaning, and manual wipe cleaning.

BENEFITS

Developed for use in the aerospace industry, CITRA-SAFE® is a low-volatility substitute for Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Trichloroethylene, Toluene, and blends of MEK and Toluene. CITRA-SAFE® is made especially for surface preparation, general solvent cleaning, and cleaning prior to sealing.  It is literally a biodegradable solvent replacement for mineral spirits, thinners, and chlorinated solvents.

The use of CITRA-SAFE® can reduce or eliminate the use of HAPs and VOCs. The use of CITRA-SAFE® improves worker health and safety versus traditional solvents. Cleaning will result in a residue-fre surface that is fully prepared for paint or sealant application.
