Electro-Optical Grade Solvents
There has been an increased awareness of the environmental impact and occupational health and safety hazards associated with the use of toxic, low flash point clearants in the laboratory and in industry. In response to this increased awareness, National Diagnostics developed its original, award-winning OptiClear cleaning fluid. Subsequently, as a result of ever growing demand for safer products for cleaning optical and electronic components, The the OptiClear product line has been expanded to include an array of low hazard Solvents.

Safety Information
With a flash point in excess of 141oF (TCC), OptiClear R, OptiClear S, and OptiClear W all exceed the requirements for classification as a nonflammable images by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Fire Protection Association. Note that the “nonflammable“ designation of OptiClear products does not mean that the material cannot be made to burn. It means only that OptiClear products will not ignite as readily, or burn with the intensity or violence of flammable liquids such as xylene.
OptiClear products are intended to dissolve paraffins and fats. Therefore, to prevent drying of the skin, avoid direct contact with the skin. Avoid contact with eyes as well as unnecessary inhalation of vapors. In case of contact with eyes, wash with large quantities of water.
