• Cloth approved to AMS 3819C Evaporations and VOC Emissions
Standard PF Solvent is a 100% volatile solvent and leaves no residue (guaranteed less than 100ppm).
When wiped or blown to a thin ilm, PF Solvent will evaporate in less than 5 minutes. This
controlled evaporation allows a signiicant reduction in solvent consumption and VOC

(Electricity Northwest) 1) Heat cable to soften bitumen
2) Holding an end of impregnated wipe lengthways in each hand, vigorously move the wipe
Distributed By: up and down the cable until all bitumen removed
General Maintenance and Cable Cleaning
1) Apply a thin ilm of solvent using an impregnated wipe
2) Allow 1-2 minutes for surface action to dislodge contaminants
3) Wipe off with a clean, dry low lint cloth ( recommended)
It is not necessary to wait for full evaporation before further working on the system.
