Low-Odour Industrial Solvents and Safety Degreasers
ACCA low-odour industrial solvents and safety degreasers are developed to remove oils, grease, machining fluids, paraffin, adhesive residues and similar contamination from machine components, moulds, mechanical equipment and production surfaces. Options with controlled evaporation, reduced odour, rapid drying and compatibility with different surfaces provide effective solutions for maintenance, manufacturing and parts-washing operations.
During industrial production and maintenance, machine components, moulds, tools and equipment surfaces can become contaminated with oil, grease, machining fluids, sludge, paraffin and process residues. Such contamination can make inspection more difficult, affect assembly quality and cause surface problems during subsequent production stages.
Conventional solvents can provide effective cleaning, but strong odour, uncontrolled evaporation, extended drying time or limited material compatibility may create operational difficulties. The ACCA range of low-odour solvents and degreasers offers different evaporation rates and cleaning strengths, allowing industrial cleaning processes to be managed more effectively.
The range includes slow-evaporating solvents for parts-washing tanks, medium-evaporation products for general maintenance and fast-drying solvents for time-sensitive production processes. Vegetable-origin and naturally derived alternatives are also available for different environmental and operational requirements.
A solvent should not be selected solely according to cleaning strength. Application method, surface material, drying time, acceptable odour level, residue requirements and workplace ventilation should all be considered.
Products
SOLV 115
A slow-evaporating, multipurpose, low-odour safety solvent. It is specifically developed for degreasing mechanical components and for use in parts-washing tanks. Its slow evaporation allows longer contact with the surface and helps dissolve heavy oily contamination.
The ACCA catalogue identifies SOLV 115 as NSF certified. The applicable NSF category and the requirements of the intended application should be verified before use.
Main characteristics:
- Helps reduce characteristic strong solvent odours
- Suitable for removing oil and grease from mechanical parts
- Can be used in parts-washing tanks
- Provides extended contact time through slow evaporation
- Supports controlled and economical product use
SOLV 115 E S
A slow-evaporating multipurpose solvent developed to remove oil, grease, machining fluids, sludge, adhesives and paraffin. Its light odour and controlled evaporation make it suitable for manual cleaning and parts-washing applications.
According to the ACCA catalogue, it is suitable for use on metals and plastics. A compatibility test on a small area is nevertheless recommended for sensitive plastics, elastomers and painted surfaces.
SOLVENTE BIO
A vegetable-origin safety solvent. Its slow evaporation makes it suitable for parts-washing tanks and degreasing operations requiring extended contact time. In addition to strong degreasing performance, it helps provide a protective effect on cleaned components.
The ACCA catalogue describes it as a product that does not carry the H304 hazard statement. The latest safety data sheet should always be consulted for safe handling.
Main characteristics:
- Vegetable-origin solvent
- Slow and controlled evaporation
- Suitable for parts-washing tanks
- Effective degreasing performance
- Helps protect cleaned components
SOLVENTE Q E
A multipurpose solvent developed to remove oil, grease, sludge, adhesives and paraffin. Controlled evaporation allows sufficient contact time with contamination while supporting consistent surface drying after cleaning.
According to the ACCA catalogue, the product can be used on metals and plastics. Preliminary testing is recommended on sensitive materials.
SOLV 117
A medium-evaporation, multipurpose, low-odour safety solvent. It offers a balanced alternative between slow-drying parts-washing solvents and very fast-evaporating maintenance cleaners.
It can be used for general maintenance, pre-production surface cleaning and degreasing of mechanical components. Its medium-fast drying rate provides both adequate contact time and efficient processing.
Main characteristics:
- Low-odour formulation
- Medium evaporation and drying rate
- Suitable for general industrial use
- Can be used on metals and compatible plastics
- Suitable for manual cleaning operations
SOLV 117 EXTRA
A multipurpose solvent developed for degreasing and maintenance operations requiring rapid drying. After dissolving oily contamination, it evaporates quickly and helps components proceed to the next production or assembly stage with minimal delay.
Its reduced-odour formulation supports more controlled use in busy maintenance and production areas. Liquid and aerosol versions are available for different application methods.
Main characteristics:
- Fast evaporation and short drying time
- Suitable for degreasing and general maintenance
- Can be used on metals and compatible plastics
- Liquid and aerosol application options
- Convenient for localised cleaning and difficult-to-reach areas
SOLV FLASH HD 127
A very fast-evaporating multipurpose solvent that does not require rinsing. It can be used in maintenance and manufacturing applications where grease, machining oil, adhesive and mould-release residues must be removed quickly.
According to the ACCA catalogue, it can be used on metals, plastics and many painted surfaces. Since the solvent resistance of paints and plastics may vary, a preliminary compatibility test should be performed.
Main characteristics:
- Very rapid evaporation
- No rinsing required
- Dissolves oils and process residues
- Suitable for short maintenance stops
- Supports rapid manufacturing and assembly processes
SOLVENTE DIE
A strong multipurpose solvent developed to remove grease, machining fluids, adhesives, mould-release residues and heavy industrial contamination. Its fast but controlled evaporation provides a balance between cleaning contact time and drying speed.
It can be used on metal surfaces and compatible plastic materials. Because of its strong solvent action, compatibility testing is recommended before use on sensitive plastics, rubber, paint and coatings.
SOLVECO HD 102
A natural-based, water-soluble degreasing solvent formulated with citrus-derived terpenes. It can remove grease, oils, inks, adhesives and tar.
Its citrus fragrance helps reduce unpleasant odours during cleaning. Water solubility provides application flexibility for different cleaning processes. The required concentration and method of application should be determined according to the relevant technical documentation.

How to Select the Correct Solvent
Slow-evaporating products provide extended contact time for parts-washing tanks and heavily contaminated components. SOLV 115, SOLV 115 E S and SOLVENTE BIO can be considered for these applications.
SOLV 117 offers a balanced working time for general maintenance and parts cleaning.
SOLV 117 EXTRA and SOLV FLASH HD 127 can be selected when short drying time is important in production, maintenance and assembly operations.
SOLVENTE DIE can be considered when stronger cleaning action is required. SOLVECO HD 102 offers a naturally derived, water-soluble alternative.
The following criteria should be considered during product selection:
- Type and thickness of contamination
- Type of metal, plastic, elastomer, paint or coating
- Required evaporation and drying time
- Parts-washing, wiping, spraying or aerosol application
- Ventilation conditions in the working area
- Acceptable residue level on the component
- Subsequent production, painting, bonding or assembly stages
- Occupational health, safety and environmental requirements
Safe Use Statement
The term safety solvent does not mean that a product is completely risk-free or harmless under all conditions. The latest technical data sheet and safety data sheet must be reviewed before use. Adequate workplace ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment must be provided, and the flammability characteristics of the selected product must be checked.
The solvent resistance of plastics, rubber, painted surfaces and coatings can vary. A compatibility test on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended before treating a larger surface.
