Recosol R55 (Shellite)
A highly volatile hydrocarbon solvent that performs well in situations requiring a solvent that evaporates quickly with no residue.
FEATURES
- Colourless solvent with a paraffinic, sweet odour
- Fast drying
- Can be used as a low residue contact cleaner
- A low flash point solvent that evaporates quickly
- A weak solvent that is unlikely to affect the surface of most materials
- Flammable hydrocarbon solvent primarily in metal cleaning
Versatility – Recosol R55 can be included in any formulation where speed of evaporation is required and will combine well with other organic compounds.
Solvency – Recosol R55 has high solvency of greases and oils. It can be used to clean surfaces prior to painting.
