Solvon^® FB2, the mildest solvent of the series, makes it the best suited for applications with sensitive plastic and elastomers. It is considered an excellent CFC-113 replacement. Suggested applications include those that require particulate or light oil removal from metals or sensitive plastic surfaces. Applications include plastic optical lens cleaning, film (movie) cleaning and fingerprint developer carriers.

Solvon^® FB5 has good solvency, excellent wetting ability and the fastest surface evaporation in the FB series. This blend is considered an excellent HCFC-141b solvent alternative. Although it has a higher boiling point than HCFC-141b, it evaporates from the surface, much faster. Suitable cleaning applications include flushing lines for refrigeration, oxygen, air (pneumatic) and hydraulic systems, removing particulate and oil from precision-machined parts and cleaning precision optical lenses. Coating applications include depositing uniform, solvent-soluble inks, adhesives, sealant and paints for many diverse applications as well as depositing hydrocarbon, fluoropolymer or silicone lubricants for applications such as disk drives, medical tubing, needles and instruments. Specialty solvent cooling applications such as residue free drill lubricant/cooling and spray freeze cleaning (gum or tar removal) are also possible.

Solvon^® FB7 is the most aggressive solvent of the series. Solvon® FB7 is suited for applications where great solvency combined with superior wetting is desired. Heavy contaminants such as drawing oils, waxes, blocking compounds, inks, printing toners, solder flux residues as well as a variety of organic soils are easily dissolved. Solvon® FB7 is particularly well suited for cleaning a broad variety of contaminants such as those found in field servicing of electronic assemblies, electromechanical components, refrigeration and hydraulic systems as well as precision machined components.
