Trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene, Next generation solvent for precision cleaning industry. To help the user to escape from the continuous price increasing of n-Propyl Bromide, Richem is working on a new project to remove or increase the flash point of 1,2-Trans. Candidates include Methylene Chloride, HFC products. We have been successfully increase the flash point to 50 degree C. Our goal is to create a affordable, steady supplying product to cleaning industry.
