They are introducing a new Highly refined Aliphatic hydrocarbon called NOTOX. I wonder if it is different than there prior solvent which they imported from Chemica Sud of Italy. Carl

I just returned from Orlando at the Clean '99 exhibition. When I passed the Boggs booth, they had several people in it asking questions or visiting. I went by the Enviroclean booth 3 times, and never saw anyone in it talking to the people working the booth. I didn't stop to talk, but I gather that their new solvent "NOTOX" is either a reformulated or more likely a re-named Drylene, and as such it is a very high flash point petroleum solvent that dries somewhat slowly and has long cycle times. Tom Abbet describes NOTOX as a "Highly refined Aliphatic hydrocarbon". Everywhere I went at the show there were cleaners discussing the relative merits of several solvents at the show. The ones which were generating the most comments by my observation, and the ones whose booths were the busiest were DryWash (a liquid CO2 solvent developed by Global Technologies, a division of Raytheon with equipment made by MVE, Comeco, SailStar, and Alliance Industries), MiCell (another approach to liquid CO2 by MiCell Technologies with equipment made by Three Rivers Manufacturing), DF2000 (an established petroleum product by Exon whose usage is still growing rapidly), and Green Earth Solvent (a silicone solvent by GE). As a general rule machines built for DF2000 will support Green Earth, and may or may not also support NOTOX. In conversations with other cleaners I heard no one discussing as feasible alternatives either NOTOX or Rynex (a terpine based solvent which can run in former Perc machines). Note that these are personal observations, and that I was there only on Saturday. The Global Technologies and GE/Hoyt booths were particularly active on Saturday. Based on my observations however I don't think there is any chance that Americlean can achieve its target for usage of NOTOX by 2000 cleaners by the end of next year. Carl
