{"product_id":"9781455731619","title":"Cleaning with Solvents: Science and Technology","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigh-precision cleaning is required across a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, defense, medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, semiconductor\/electronics, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCleaning parts and surfaces with solvents is simple, effective and low-cost. Although health and safety and environmental concerns come into play with the use of solvents, this book explores how safe and compliant solvent-based cleaning techniques can be implemented. A key to this is the selection of the right solvent. The author also examines a range of newer \"green\" solvent cleaning options.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book supplies scientific fundamentals and practical guidance supported by real-world examples. Durkee explains the three principal methods of solvent selection: matching of solubility parameters, reduction of potential for smog formation, and matching of physical properties. He also provides guidance on the safe use of aerosols, wipe-cleaning techniques, solvent stabilization, economics, and many other topics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA compendium of blend rules is included, covering the physical, chemical, and environmental properties of solvents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree methods explained in detail for substitution of suitable solvents for those unsuitable for any reason: toxic solvents don't have to be tolerated; this volume explains how to do better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables users to make informed judgments about their selection of cleaning solvents for specific applications, including solvent replacement decisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains how to plan and implement solvent cleaning systems that are effective, economical and compliant with regulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125470609648,"sku":"9781455731619","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455731619_p0.jpg?v=1763861312","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455731619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
