Lacolene

Lacolene is a fast-evaporating industrial solvent blend commonly used for surface preparation, cleaning, and degreasing applications. Known for its strong solvency power, low residue, and rapid drying characteristics, Lacolene is highly effective at removing oils, greases, waxes, and contaminants from metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. It is often used in industrial and automotive settings where quick turnaround and residue-free cleaning are required.

In addition to cleaning, Lacolene is applied as a diluent or carrier solvent in coatings, adhesives, and specialty formulations. Its controlled evaporation rate provides efficient drying without compromising performance. With its versatility and effectiveness, Lacolene remains a valuable solvent solution for industries requiring precision cleaning and dependable surface preparation.

Synonyms: Lacolene solvent, Industrial Lacolene, High-evaporation solvent blend.
