ASAHIKLIN Series

Next-Generation Solvent with Zero Ozone Depletion Potential

The ASAHIKLIN Series products are fluorinated solvents that Asahi Glass developed ahead of others on the world market. These solvents feature excellent finish of cleaned parts and short drying time, and they are inflammable. They are also proved to be safe for human health.
In particular, ASAHIKLIN AE-3000 is attracting much attention as an excellent next-generation fluorinated solvent with very low environmental impact. This product is mainly used in the process of cleaning precision devices, including dust removal and drying after water-cleaning or rincing. Unlike conventional cleaning solvents, ASAHIKLIN AE-3000 has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). The ODP represents the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer that a chemical can cause, and if the value is zero, it means that the chemical will never deplete the ozone layer even if it continues to be used in the future. Furthermore, ASAHIKLIN AE-3000 has a relatively small global warming potential (GWP: used to show the relative contribution of a substance to global warming), as compared to other fluorochemicals, the GWP of which usually range from several thousands to more than 10,000. In addition, we are now recycling waste solvents by the distillation method.
Asahi Glass developed ASAHIKLIN AE-3000 as an environmentally friendly product in response to the needs of the market, where substances with lower environmental impact are increasingly replacing traditional materials.
