Applications of Galden SVX

Galden® SV grades are low molecular weight, CFC-free solvents that are inert, non-toxic, odorless and colorless.
These products are extremely safe because they have no flash, fire or auto-ignition points. Being chemically inert makes it ideal for cleaning operations where solvents are applied to hot components, heated prior to application or pressure sprayed onto components. 

Galden® SV is also used as a carrier for fluorinated lubricants, as is the case for Solvay’s Fomblin® PFPE lubricants.
