Solvent Based Dressings

A component of a dressing is the carrying agent that transports the active ingredient to the dressing surface and in the case of solvent based tire dressings it just so happens to be a solvent. The process is actually very simple. A dressing is wipe or spray applied and as the dressing sets up the solvent evaporates and leaves the active ingredient on the dressed surface. Solvent based dressings are customarily used as exterior dressings due to the fact that they are solvent and using them on the interior is not necessarily the best practice.
