Jim,

The choice of stripper will always depend upon what you are trying to remove, and what the substrate is susceptible to damage by.  I agree with Brian that DCM gets an unnecessarily bad press, but legislation is legislation.  Questionable science seems to hit this industry as much as any other.  

However, DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) has been proffered as a more environmentally acceptable and safe to use solvent, with similar solvency properties to DCM, but has far fewer legal H&S requirements.  That is if you can get over the name of the corporation that supplies it ;-) ...

Hope of some use.

Best Regards,

Phil
