91% Alcohol vs 99% Alcohol

We’re using TPM now for about half a year with the original Form Wash and it’s the best solution for us.

Yes - it’s more expensive
Yes - you need to wash the TPM away after washing your parts (we use hot water)

BUT:

  • It smells so much “better” than IPA
  • higher boiling point (3times more -> 82°C IPA / 242°C TPM -> this is causing the “better” smell)
  • flashpoint 10x higher (12°C IPA / 127°C TPM)
  • higher resincapability (we can use TPM almost two times longer than IPA)

So for us as a company, the advantages are much higher than the price-disadvantage. We use “Dowanol TPM”, if you are interested in.
