Meet the new AUX-400-RINSE
What is AUX-400-RINSE?
AUX-400-RINSE is an organic-based rinse solution developed as an effective alternative to IPA for the final rinse step in the post-processing of additive manufactured parts. The rinse solution was formulated specifically for resin workflows, where IPA is commonly used to clean remaining detergent residue in combination with a drying step just prior to achieving finished parts.
Why use AUX-400-RINSE?
AUX-400-RINSE is designed to work with PostProcess’ automated resin removal solutions. It replaces the traditional IPA rinse step in workflows that may be required following processing in our automated solutions.
A Safer Alternative to IPA
AUX-400-RINSE provides reduced flammability and exposure, offering a higher flashpoint vs. IPA.
- IPA flashpoint: 53°F / 11°C
- AUX-400-RINSE flashpoint: 102°F / 38.8°C
It does not require explosion-proof or ATEX certified equipment and is complaint with Hazardous Material Regulations from OSHA and NFPA, as well as EU Directives. It also reduces operator chemical exposure with a lower vapor pressure when compared to IPA.
Improved Performance
AUX-400-RINSE has an increased useful life over IPA and rinses 3 times more parts per gallon (L) than IPA. With half the evaporation rate of IPA, you’ll experience less tank changes per year. AUX-400-RINSE also has no effect on a part’s mechanical properties
Improved Sustainability
Our rinse is considered a lower Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) rate compared to IPA. You can also filter the rinse for reuse, which uses less energy than the distillation process required for IPA.
