I do not recommend EnSolv, as it contains nPB. You can learn a little 
about its environmental and H&S issues - and both require serious 
thought - at http://www.cypenv.org/worldenv/files/npb.htm.

If you must use it in a vapour degreaser, the recommended practices to 
reduce emissions include a deep (1½ times the opening diagonal) 
refrigerated freeboard, automatic sliding doors, small baskets to 
prevent pistoning the vapour out of the machine, draught-free 
environment, automatic hoist to respect freeboard dwell times and 
prevent brusque movements, minimal disturbance when filling/emptying 
machine and only when cold etc. I would also recommend operators wear 
badges so that their exposure can be constantly monitored. Listen to the 
operators for any unusual symptoms. The operators should wear protective 
clothing, bearing in mind that dermal uptake of nPB can be significant.

UNEP discourages the use of nPB wherever possible.
