Solvair The Solvair cleaning technology combines unsurpassed soil and stain removal with environmental friendliness in a practical, sustainable, cost effective system, offering tangible benefits that include high productivity, longer garment life, and fewer garment claims. The Solvair fluid is a low-volatility liquid with a broad range of soil removal capabilities. Drying is performed without heat in a succession of cool rinses in pressurized liquid carbon dioxide to remove the Solvair fluid. At the end of this liquid carbon dioxide rinsing process, the pressure in the wheel is reduced until the liquid carbon dioxide converts back to gas, completely drying the items in wheel. The result is a drying process that is faster, more even and efficient than drying with heat. Without the heat and tumbling of conventional drying, stains do not set and garments retain their original qualities through successive wearing and cleaning cycles. Booth 5032.
