TMC-367E Engineered Fluid is a precision cleaning solvent mixture of 1,2-trans-dichloroethylene and proprietary fluorinated compounds. It was designed with no HFCs, for cleaning applications as a direct substitute for solvents like nPB, Chemours Vertrel®, 3M Novec®, HCFC-225, and others.

• Non-Flammable
• No Flash Point
• Low Viscosity
• Low VOC Content
• Zero Surface Residue

TMC-367E has a broad spectrum cleaning capability for many types of contaminants including: adhesives, buffing compounds, drawing oils, hydraulic oils, greases, refrigerant oils, silicone oils, and waxes. 

APPLICATIONS

TMC-367E is specifically blended to have lower VOC content, this solvent blend is perfectly suited for general cleaning and is our recommended solvent for medical
applications. Its solvency for hydrocarbon soils is superior to most similar high-trans fluorinated solvent blends. It can reliably replace other cleaning solvents such as n-propyl bromide (nPB) and trichloroethylene (TCE). 

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

MATERIAL COMPATABILITY

TMC-367E is compatible with most polymers and elastomers typically encountered during cleaning and vapor degreasing of precision parts, electronics, etc.  TMC-367E is also compatible with stainless steel, aluminum, iron, and every other metal commonly used in precision parts manufacturing.

Incompatible Materials

ENVIRONMENTAL PROPERTIES

TMC-367E ingredients are listed as acceptable by the U.S. EPA under the SNAP program as a substitute for ozone-depleting substances and are not subject to SARA Title III (EPCRA) reporting regulation. It is not considered a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) and therefore is not regulated under NESHAP.

Spent TMC-367E is not considered hazardous waste in the US as long as a hazardous material is not deposited into the solvent during the cleaning process.

FLAMMABILITY

TMC-367E exhibits no flash point on either Pensky-Martens Closed Cup (ASTM D93) or Tag Closed Cup (ASTM D56) methods and is not classified as flammable by OSHA or DOT. However, as is true with almost all halogenated solvents, it does have flammable limits in air in the presence of a high ignition energy source (e.g., a welding torch). TMC-367E is not classified as flammable or hazardous for transport by DOT.

STORAGE & HANDLING

TMC-367E is thermally stable and will not oxidize or degrade during storage under normal conditions. It is recommended to store the product inside a clean, dry area and out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Do not freeze or store below 32°F (0°C) nor above 90°F (32°C) to prevent leakage or potential rupture of container due to contraction/expansion and pressure changes. Drum pumps are recommended to dispense the solvent from its container. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for more information or contact TMC Industries, Inc. for further assistance.
