Several solvent blends have been developed for solvent-based, hand wipe, and cold cleaning applications, which typically require quick drying times and good worker-exposure characteristics. The blends described demonstrate improved cleaning performance for a wide range of soils and good compatibility with many substrates. Their solubility characteristics are described and compared to traditional cleaning solvents. The vapor hazard ratio (VHR) is used to compare the relative inhalation hazards of these solvents and their traditional counterparts. This method of comparing the inhalation hazards combines a solvent's exposure limit and vapor pressure to give a realistic reflection of worker exposure hazard. Additionally, when evaluating a solvent's impact on the environment, including vapor pressure into the evaluation gives a more realistic picture of that solvent's impact.
