There are many resins on the market, all meeting various requirements depending on each project's specifications. The most common ones are:

- Epoxy

- Polyester

- Polyurethane

- Acrylic

- ...

Out of habit, without any real chemical reason, users most commonly use acetone to clean their injection machine, their bubble-breaker roller, their brush, their knife, and all other equipment. We have developed acetone substitutes.

Frequently asked questions about resin solvents

Resin solvent: how to replace acetone?

Acetone is a solvent conventionally used for cleaning resins. Although very interesting (powerful solvent, highly effective, fast drying, recyclable), this solvent poses dangers for users such as fire risk and health hazards. Acetone is a highly flammable solvent (flash point -18°C), with binding regulatory exposure limit values (Article R. 4412-149 of the French Labor Code), which is why more and more companies are looking to substitute this solvent. To replace acetone, one must have a good knowledge of the product's characteristics and its process, because if a molecule with a similar size/structure is chosen for the substitution, it may address effectiveness/process compatibility but not the exposure/fire issue. Conversely, if a molecule of different size/nature is chosen, it will likely address effectiveness/exposure/fire concerns but not always process compatibility. It is often the drying time that causes problems during substitutions. Therefore, replacing acetone can be a simple or complex undertaking, and may sometimes require adapting one's working methods. Discover our acetone substitutes on this page.

Which solvent to use for cleaning resins?

There is a very wide range of resins; depending on the main families of each, we have one or more solutions to offer you. TheArcane 225 is recommended for epoxy resins, for example. Find all our solvents on this page.
