EnSolv 5408
The ONLY Boeing Approved nPB Vapor Degreasing Solvent
A Safer Replacement for TCE/PERC with Equal Performance
EnSolv 5408 is the ONLY nPB based degreasing solvent approved by Boeing Corporation under BAC 5408 and BMS 11-11 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 is approved as of 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 As of February 5, 2008 PSD 6-59 has been superseded by PSDS 6-62 to allow the use of Spec 490 Stabilizer Booster mixture. EnSolv 5408 is the ONLY n-Propyl Bromide based solvent to succeed through the rigors of over four years of intensive testing by Boeing and is listed on the QPL (Qualified Product List) of BMS 11-11.
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.
