MicroCare offers an enormous array of different cleaning chemistries, tailored to different applications. Australia has stringent new rules about the importation of ozone-depleting substances and global warming substances, so not every MicroCare product is acceptable in that country. Your best choices are the low-GWP products which also are used in Europe. These include: Polar Flux…
The life span of an aerosol can being used on the benchtop varies by the amount of cleaning that is performed and the skill of the operator doing the cleaning. But — and this is important — the key is to let those operators use the TriggerGrip™ dispensing system. In general, the TriggerGrip™system will double or…
Flux residue cleaning is determined by factors like flux type, board application, and manufacturing requirements. Common scenarios include:Flux TypeNo-Clean Flux Residue: Typically left on boards but may need cleaning for aerospace, medical, or military applications. We recommend VeriClean No clean Flux Remover.Rosin-Based Flux Residue: Clean when residues hinder coating adhesion or electrical performance. We recommend SuprClean…
The correct answer is, it depends on (a) what you are cleaning, (b) how much you are cleaning and (c) how well trained your people are.If your people are using the TriggerGrip™ dispensing system it should double or even triple the life of an aerosol can. This means in a normal manufacturing environment, where a traditional high-pressure…
Why would anybody want to clean no-cleans? Well, it happens all the time. Cleaning delicate circuitry is easy with MicroCare solvents, even when no-clean fluxes are used. Probably most of the companies using the No-Clean Flux Remover - VeriClean™, the Alcohol-Enhanced Flux Remover - ProClean™ sales and almost all of our Lead-Free Flux Remover -…
'Hygroscopic' is a chemical term which describes a behavior of certain chemicals. Hygroscopic chemicals absorb water; they love water. They want to pick up water molecules out of the air. Normal isopropyl alcohol (IPA, or rubbing alcohol) is infinitely hygroscopic.Why is that important? Because solvents which carry water as a contaminant generally are weaker and…

Why Is There Empty Space at the Top of the Pail?Recently a customer called us and complained about our packaging. They had discovered the liquid quantity of a cubitainer was just about 4 liters. Did the container leak? Is MicroCare cheating on the quantities in the packages? Not at all. Here are the details:Packing by Volume…
Military customers know they must clean their electronics if they are going to get reliable performance under battlefield conditions. Many MicroCare solvents and cleaners have been and continue to be used for the cleaning of military devices, avionics systems, air frames, ground-based weapon systems and ground support equipment.MicroCare cleaners can be used to remove fluxes…
This two-minute animation explains the source of the problem with static on fiber end-faces, and the damage such static can produce. Static is a particular nefarious problem in data centers and enterprise applications because these are assumed to be relatively clean environments, unlike the obvious concerns with outside plant installations. Nonetheless, static can attract particulate to end-faces and…
