Honeywell names KYZEN a distributor for specialty fluid

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, KYZEN has become a US distributor of Solstice PF solvent.


Morris Township, New Jersey – Honeywell has expanded its distribution of Solstice Performance Fluid (PF), a new low-global-warming-potential solvent used to clean metal and plastic parts for the electronics, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing industries.
 
KYZEN has become a national distributor of Solstice PF in the United States. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, KYZEN provides cleaning technologies for a variety of businesses, including those in the electronics, semiconductor, optics, and metal finishing industries. 
 
“As a leading distributor and developer of cleaning technologies, KYZEN’s expertise will help us accelerate the adoption of Solstice PF,” said David Cooper, global business director for Honeywell Fluorine Products.
 
“Our customers are inventing breakthrough technologies, and they need advanced cleaning technologies to match them,” said Tom Forsythe, executive vice president of KYZEN.
 
Solstice PF is used to clean oils, greases, and other substances from high-performance metal and plastic parts that require precision cleaning. It offers excellent cleaning power when compared to today’s legacy solvents, while helping manufacturers comply with current and proposed environmental and safety requirements.
 
Solstice PF has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1, which is significantly lower than the GWPs of the most commonly used solvents today, including HCFC-225 (which has a GWP of 370), HFC-4310mee (which has a GWP of 1,700) and HFE-7100 (which has a GWP of 320). Solstice PF is non-flammable per ASTM E681 testing, and has an occupational exposure limit of 800 parts per million. It is also not a volatile organic compound (VOC), as determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
 
Solstice-branded products also include stationary and mobile refrigerants, liquid and gaseous blowing agents, and propellants based on Honeywell’s hydrofluoro-olefin technology, which helps customers lower their carbon footprint without sacrificing end-product performance.
