Recochem D60 Dearomatised Solvent - Solvents and Thinners - Recochem - Image 1
Description

Recochem D60 Dearomatised Solvent is a low odour, high flash cleaning solvent to replace mineral turps or white spirits. 200 L drums and 1000 L IBCs.

What it does

Recochem sells it as Recosol D60: hydrotreated heavy petroleum naphtha at 100 per cent on the SDS. Aromatics are down to about 0.2 per cent on Recochem's data sheet, which markets it as a lower odour swap for mineral turps, white spirits or kerosene. It cuts grease, oil and general dirt (KB value 31) but does not swell rubber or plastics, so it suits electrical cleaning and seals. A 63°C flash point makes it combustible for storage, not a dangerous good for transport.

Where to use it

  • Cleaning formulations that need a low odour solvent
  • Parts cleaning in workshops
  • Electrical equipment, where rubber and plastic parts must not swell
  • Blends that currently use mineral turps or Recochem White Spirits

Part of our Solvents and Thinners range.

How to use

  1. Use it as supplied, or swap it into your formula in place of turps or white spirits.
  2. For parts, soak or brush, then drain and air dry.
  3. Earth and bond drums and pumps, and avoid splash filling.
  4. Decant into metal cans or drums, as the SDS directs.

Safe on / avoid

Gentle on rubber and plastic parts, per Recochem; still test sensitive coatings first. Keep it apart from strong oxidisers, chlorine and halogens, and never weld on drums, empty or full. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸What does dearomatised solvent mean?

The aromatic hydrocarbons have been taken out. Recochem puts D60 at about 0.2 per cent aromatics.

▸Can D60 replace mineral turpentine?

Yes, in cleaning formulations. Recochem positions it as an improved, lower odour replacement for mineral turps and white spirits.

▸Will D60 swell rubber seals?

No. Recochem says it does not swell rubbers or plastics, so it can be kept in containers whose seals tolerate little solvent.

▸Can I use D60 as an electrical cleaner?

Yes. Recochem lists it as an electrical cleaner, because it leaves rubber and plastic parts alone.

▸What is the flash point of D60?

63°C on the SDS. It is combustible, so it is regulated for storage but travels as general freight.

Safety Information

DANGER Combustible liquid (H227). Swallowing it can kill if the liquid gets into the lungs (H304). Causes eye irritation (H320). May cause drowsiness or dizziness (H336). Repeated exposure may dry or crack the skin (AUH066).

  • PPE: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles, PVC gloves, overalls, a PVC apron and safety footwear or rubber boots. Wear an approved respirator if there is a risk of overexposure.
  • Handling and storage: Combustible. Static can build in the liquid, so earth and bond equipment, limit pumping speed and avoid splash filling. Keep it sealed in the original metal can or drum in a cool, dry, well ventilated store, locked up and away from oxidisers and food containers.
  • First aid: Eyes: wash out at once with running water, holding the lids apart, and get medical attention. Skin: take off soaked clothing and footwear and flush skin and hair with water. Inhaled: move them to fresh air. Swallowed: do not make the person vomit; if they do vomit, lean them forward or onto the left side to keep the airway clear, and see a doctor.
