Chlorinated Solvents
Chlorinated solvents deliver cleaning efficiency to surface treatment processes in a variety of industries, such as the dry cleaning and metal cleaning industry. In applications where high dry cleaning and metal cleaning standards are required, chlorinated solvents have achieved a cleaning standard that is second to none.

Chlorinated solvents are non-flammable and offer high solvency and low surface tension, which improves process efficiency. These products have a high recycling potential, which contributes to their sustainable use. As chlorinated solvents require safety precautions to safeguard people and the environment, the SAFE-TAINER™ system is designed to manage the product-specific risk.

SAFE-TAINER system customers are supplied with original DOW solvents of the highest quality. Together with SAFECHEM Europe GmbH, Dow, as the world's most significant supplier of chlorinated organic products, offers its customers the support and expertise of its Technical Service & Development (TS&D) group, based at the Dow Europe headquarters in Horgen, Switzerland.

Modified Alcohol Solvents
Dow has developed new cleaning solvents for surface cleaning applications. The DOWCLENE™ cleaning and degreasing agents are based on modified alcohol. These solvents show, in many cases, improved cleaning performance over hydrocarbon solvents and when used in appropriate cleaning machines may show similar cleaning results to those of chlorinated solvents.

Never handle any chlorinated solvent before you have read the relevant SDS.
