Mineral spirits, kerosene, and generic hydrocarbon solvents often fall short of what modern machined-part cleaning demands. Actrel™ was engineered to solve exactly these issues. **Inconsistent cleaning & drying quality** Fluids with a wide boiling range cause uneven drying speeds, unpredictable finish quality, and inefficient solvent recovery. **Odor & worker exposure risk** Mineral spirits and kerosene typically have a low Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), raising safety and workplace-comfort concerns. No fluid matched to your process From fast-drying applications to precision cleaning, heat-treatment, and flux removal — choosing the right grade among many options is difficult without expert guidance. Running costs are hard to control High-evaporation-loss fluids drive up consumption and running costs, and complicate solvent recovery and recycling programs. ![29406\_w](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hs-fs/hubfs/29406_w.png?width=1024&height=1086&name=29406_w.png) SOLUTION ## Why manufacturers choose Actrel™   ![電球　アイコン](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hs-fs/hubfs/%E5%AE%9F%E8%A3%85%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/%E9%9B%BB%E7%90%83%E3%80%80%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3.png?width=117&height=117&name=%E9%9B%BB%E7%90%83%E3%80%80%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3.png) ExxonMobil offers a series of lower-toxicity, high-value solvents specifically suited for machined-part cleaning, compared to mineral spirits and kerosene. Combined with the Cleanvy cleaning machine series, Actrel™ delivers high cleaning performance, safety, and cost efficiency together.   ![Stable, controlled cleaning](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/Stable%2c%20controlled%20cleaning.jpg) ### Stable, controlled cleaning A narrow boiling range delivers consistent drying speed and makes solvent recovery and recycling easier. ![The right fluid for the job](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/The%20right%20fluid%20for%20the%20job.jpg) ### The right fluid for the job Choose from a full range of grades optimized for boiling range, flash point, and evaporation rate. ![Safer, greener working environment](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/Safer%2c%20greener%20working%20environment.jpg) ### Safer, greener working environment Higher Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL) reduce worker exposure risk compared to conventional solvents. ![Low odor](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/Low%20odor.jpg) ### Low odor for a more comfortable shop floor Paired with Cleanvy machines, low-odor operation improves conditions for your operators on-site. ![Higher flash point, safer handling](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/Higher%20flash%20point%2c%20safer%20handling.jpg) ### Higher flash point, safer handling Select grades feature higher flash points, improving on-site handling safety for operators. ![Lower running costs](https://cleaning.jfe-shoji-ele.co.jp/hubfs/%E6%B4%97%E6%B5%84%E9%96%A2%E9%80%A3/Actrel/Lower%20running%20costs.jpg) ### Lower running costs A narrow distillation range means less evaporation loss, reducing solvent consumption and running costs.   VIDEO ## Engineered for a safer work environment.
