Chlorinated solvents surface tension

However, liquids that are commonly used, e.g., alka-nols, may dissolve and denature the actives such as macromolecules. The recent discovery of fluorocarbon (EC) liquids including perfluorodecalin and perfluoro-octyl bromide as alternatives may be useful because they are hydrophobic and do not dissolve proteins. In addition, EC has a low surface tension relatively weak bonds are expected to form between the fine particles of the loose agglomerates, which can be then redispersed readily as an aerosol. The high vapor pressure of EC renders low solvent residue in the final product. Fluorocarbon does not contain chlorine atoms, and is therefore ozone friendly.
