Recosol R55 (Shellite)

A highly volatile hydrocarbon solvent that performs well in situations requiring a solvent that evaporates quickly with no residue.

• Colourless solvent with a paraffinic, sweet odour
• Fast drying
• Can be used as a low residue contact cleaner
• A low flash point solvent that evaporates quickly
• A weak solvent that is unlikely to affect the surface of most materials
• Flammable hydrocarbon solvent primarily in metal cleaning 

 Versatility – Recosol R55 can be included in any formulation where speed of evaporation is required and will combine well with other organic compounds.

Solvency – Recosol R55 has high solvency of greases and oils. It can be used to clean surfaces prior to painting.
