A-A-59601E Type III

Product Overview

A-A-59601E Type III is a specialized industrial solvent formulation designed to meet strict military and technical specifications for dry cleaning and degreasing applications. This Laboratory Grade reagent offers a consistent C10H8 chemical profile, ensuring high solvency power for the removal of organic soils, oils, and greases without leaving significant non-volatile residues. It is engineered for stability across standard operating temperatures, making it a reliable choice for critical cleaning processes, chemical synthesis, and equipment maintenance.

The Type III designation indicates adherence to specific flash point and volatility standards required for industrial safety and performance. Manufacturing facilities and laboratories utilize this solvent for surface preparation and as a reaction medium where high purity and defined solvent parameters are essential. Each batch is manufactured to ensure compliance with the A-A-59601E standard, providing traceable performance for supply chain validation.

Safety Precautions

Handle A-A-59601E Type III with appropriate chemical-resistant Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including solvent-resistant gloves (Nitrile or Viton), safety goggles, and a face shield if splashing is possible. Use only in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from heat sources, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizers.

In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If eye contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive handling, storage, and emergency response guidelines. Dispose of contents and containers in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations regarding hazardous waste.
