RESUMO
The use of hydrochlorofluocarbon (HFC) solvents is banned from the end of 2001. Part of this article assessed the merits of using hydrofluoroethers as replacement solvents. Alternatives to HFCs are more expensive. Part II looks at how to reduce the cost of conversion.

RESUMO
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon solvents have been used for a variety of applications, including silicone deposition, precision cleaning, drying and tube swelling. Their use in these applications is banned in Europe from the end of 2001. Part I of this article explores the technical merits of replacement solvents, with particular reference to hydrofluoroethers.
