Dry cleaning is a challenging business. Problems with worker exposure, waste disposal, environmental issues, regulations, restrictions – the list goes on and on. And that’s before you even clean a garment! All of this continues to make it difficult to provide a low-cost service to the dry cleaning customer. The available replacement choices are few, and unlike other alternatives, DrySolv™ is one that actually works! In numerous laboratory and independent cleaning performance tests, pilot studies, and over 3 years of continual customer usage, DrySolv™ has proven that it cleans equal to, if not better than, PERC in all dry cleaning applications; all while doing it with less energy, less time, less environmental impact, less waste, less solvent usage, less….well, less everything. And you know what they say, “sometimes less is more.” So take a minute out of your busy day and use this website to educate yourself on DrySolv™. It may be the “solution” you’ve been looking for.

Replacing Perc without compromising cleaning performance has been a long-standing problem among the professional cleaning world. Problem solved.....with DrySolv.
DrySolv™ is a patented dry cleaning solvent that is non-chlorinated, non-flammable, non-hazardous, and is vastly more environmentally responsible than PERC. It is a direct replacement for PERC and other cleaning chemicals in the dry cleaning industry that works in your existing PERC dry cleaning machine. Research has shown DrySolv™ to be superior to PERC in that it cleans better, and cleans faster. Because DrySolv™ is non-hazardous, costly issues such as environmental compliance and waste disposal of PERC are eliminated or significantly reduced.
Being “Green” has never been easier with DrySolv. The first environmentally responsible replacement solvent for your dry cleaning machine!
- DrySolvä is non-flammable, showing no flashpoint in multiple tests and test methods.(ASTM D-56 TCC, ASTM D-92 COC, ASTM D-93 TCC).
- DrySolvä is also non-chlorinated.
- DrySolväis non-hazardous.(DOT, OSHA, NESHAP, RCRA, Clean Water Act)
- DrySolvä is not a hazardous air pollutant, is SNAP approved, and does not contribute to global warming.(NESHAP, Significant New Alternative Program-SNAP approved (Federal EPA), Not Title V)
- The USEPA states that DrySolv’sä main ingredient is less persistent in the environment than many other solvents, is of low to moderate concern for movement in soil, does not warrant listing under the Toxics Release Inventory and is not prone to bioaccumulation. (USEPA - Federal Register May 30, 2007).
- DrySolvä does not have a hazardous decomposition or hazardous polymerization.
Get a “green” advantage over your competitors with DrySolv™, the simple replacement for PERC. The dry cleaning industry demands perfection in the service it provides. Enviro Tech understands this requirement and has the ultimate answer for effective, environmentally safe cleaning in your facility, and DrySolv™ is that answer.
In a world without Perc, what alternative will you chose?
EnSolv 5408
The Original Boeing Approved nPB Vapor Degreasing Solvent. Drop in replacement for TCE and PERC proven in real world use for over 7 years.
A Safer Replacement for TCE/PERC with Equal Performance
EnSolv 5408 is the FIRST nPB based degreasing solvent ever approved by Boeing Corporation under BAC 5408 PSD6-62 for use as a drop in replacement for TCE and PERC in aerospace vapor degreasing. Its unique, patented formula produces the consistent and stable results demanded by Boeing to ensure the parts going into every airplane can be trusted to perform as required. EnSolv-5408 is used by Tier 1, 2 and 3 aerospace manufacturers and subcontractors, as well as MRO organizations, for the vapor degreasing of critical aircraft parts. It is an ideal, environmentally conscious, drop in replacement solvent for Trichloroethylene (TCE), Perchloroethyelene (PERC) and a number of other commonly used, hazardous or carcinogenic industrial solvents.

Approved for Both Commercial and Military Applications
EnSolv 5408 was approved on June 15, 2006 by Boeing Aircraft Corporation under BAC5408 via PSD 6-59 as an alternative vapor degreasing solvent to TCE and PERC. As of February 5, 2008 PSD 6-59 had been superseded by PSDS 6-62 to allow the use of Spec 490 Stabilizer Booster mixture. EnSolv 5408 was the FIRST n-Propyl Bromide based solvent to succeed through the rigors of over three years of intensive testing by Boeing and is now written into the Boeing BAC5408 specification as a material option.
On March 21, 2008, Boeing St. Louis (McDonnell-Douglas) approved EnSolv 5408 to its PS 12020 Rev.Y Aerospace Vapor Degreasing Specification. EnSolv 5408 is the ONLY nPB solvent approved for BOTH commercial and military applications.
