PRODUCT NEED:

Countless solvents claim to replace 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Literally all miss the mark. Trichlor was universally popular because it evaporates fast with no flash point, cleans well with no residue, and was reasonably affordable. But ozone depletion finally brought it down. Replacements offer to save the ozone, but always by giving up at least one crucial advantage of trichlor: powerful but slow evaporating ... fast drying but a flash hazard ... ozone-safe but carcinogenic too ... or plastics incompatible ... or etc. Always a trade-off--until now.

PRODUCT SOLUTION:

American Polywater introduces the Type TR™ Wipe to its family of electrical cleaning products. Type TR™ closely matches the desirable characteristics of 1,1,1 trichloroethane without the drawbacks of other alternative solvents. Type TR™ is a new formulation engineered specifically for cables and other electrical cleaning. It evaporates rapidly and leaves no residue, while exhibiting excellent solvency power on hydrocarbon and silicone greases, fluxes, varnishes, shield picks, adhesives, hand grime, and other organic soils. Type TR™ is non-chlorinated, non-conductive, non-flammable, has no flash point, and is neither a listed carcinogen or a Class 1 or Class 2 ozone-depleter.

DISTRIBUTOR BENEFITS:

This break-through product may be a tougher sell than one would think because cynical end-users have seen hopes dashed before by so-called "replacements," and TR™ is available only in wipes--no bulk. The key to success will be to present the facts, supported by tech sheets, and supply field trial samples--both available from APC. Customers will believe it when they see it. And when they see it, they will be grateful to you for filling their need.
