Solvents and Chemistries for Industrial and Lab Applications  

We proudly offer an extensive range of solvents and chemistries for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. Our popular 4 in 1 cleaner is a multipurpose aqueous cleaner ideal for cleaning equipment with temperatures ranging from ambient (room temperature, manual cleaning) to automated cleaning techniques up to 180ºF. Other specially formulated aqueous chemistries for commercial printing presses, spray guns are also available. 

Our solvents – acetone and lacquer thinner – are designed for cleaning paint spray equipment and parts used in various settings, such as industrial printing presses, paint guns, and automotive paint and body shops. Our acetone is available in several grades, including commercial, HPLC, reagent, reagent ACS, and semiconductor. 

Industrial and Laboratory chemistries like heptane come in 1-gallon bottles, while others, such as isopropyl alcohol, are available in 55-gallon drums. Petroleum ether and ethanol are provided in 4-liter glass bottles for ease of handling, and toluene comes in 1-gallon plastic jugs. Our inventory includes a variety of solvents and chemistries, from acetone to xylene.

Due to the highly volatile nature of these solvents, we adhere to strict shipping and storage guidelines, requiring hazardous material fees to ensure safe transport. Typically, a customer care specialist will contact you to coordinate the delivery to your lab or shop.

Our solvents and chemistries offering spans a wide variety of applications – from manual cleaning to automated cleaning. From industrial and lab chemistries to the automotive industry. Therefore, it is critical to understand the substrate that the formula will be used on, the temperature at which it will be used – as well as any possible interactions with other metals or chemistries. Be sure to view the technical information on any product you purchase to ensure that it’s right for your application, and to ensure safe handling and usage of all solvents and chemistries. 

What are solvent chemistries? 

Solvent chemistries refer to the study of substances, typically in liquid form, that have the ability to dissolve other materials (known as solutes) without altering their chemical composition. These substances play a vital role in various industrial processes, scientific research, and everyday tasks, especially for cleaning and degreasing. As environmental concerns grow, there’s a trend toward using eco-friendly solvents like water or carbon dioxide to reduce their impact. Our company offers water-based solvents suitable for diverse applications, ensuring they are free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and compliant with relevant regulations.

What is the best solvent for cleaning paint guns? 

The best solvent for cleaning paint guns depends on factors like the type of coating used and the level of cleaning required. Our automotive-grade lacquer thinner works well for enamel and oil-based paints, typically used in the automotive industry. 

How do I remove baked-on carbon? 

Our M-100 BCR (baked-on carbon remover) is an aqueous, low pH cleaner, specially formulated to perform like a caustic cleaner. It attacks and remove baked on carbon and other heavy soils from steel and soft metals like cast aluminum blocks and other alloy components, restoring them to nearly new condition. Highly concentrated, it can be used in immersion, ultrasonic and spray washer applications. Shop for ArmaKleen™M-100 BCR now. 

What is a bio-based cleaner/degreaser?   

Our bio-based cleaner/degreaser is USDA certified as a bio-preferred product and contains 72% sustainable bio carbon containing ingredients (surfactants and additives) derived from plants and other renewable materials. This water-based solution works in manual, immersion, spray under immersion, ultrasonic and spray washing equipment to remove soils such as grease, lubricating oils, dirt and other soils from steel, copper, aluminum and other surfaces.
