Highly stabilized for vapor degreasing. Its unique combination of stabilizers makes it especially effective for long-term use. The stabilizer system prevents the build-up of acid in the degreaser and also protects against metal corrosion and reaction in the solvent.

Safety Data Sheets

Test Kits

MAXISTAB™ Stabilizers and the MAXICHECK™ Solvent Analysis Test Kits are available through Dow’s wholly-owned subsidiary SAFECHEM, who is specialized in the safe handling of solvents for the cleaning industry. Contact a representative for more information.

Acid Acceptance Test

This test monitors the concentration of neutral acid acceptors in any of the following three solvents:

  • Dow Methylene Chloride Vapor Degreasing Grade
  • Perchloroethylene SVG
  • NEU-TRI solvent

If the neutral acid acceptors in your solvent are depleted, acidic by-products can build up and lead to solvent breakdown.

Reserve Alkalinity Test

In addition to neutral acid acceptor stabilizers, the following solvents have specialty alkaline stabilizers.

  • Perchloroethylene SVG Double Stabilized
  • NEU-TRI solvent

This test yields an accurate measure of the alkaline stabilizer level, even in the presence of alkaline metal working fluids and lubricants.
