What Types of Cleaning Challenges can MicroCare Products Address?

Our cleaning solutions work across multiple applications - from sensitive electronic components to industrial machine parts. The product line includes specialized formulas that effectively remove common workshop contaminants like oils and waxes while being safe for use on most materials and surfaces.

How do MicroCare Products Align with Environmental Requirements?

We formulate our cleaning solutions to meet current environmental regulations. Our products offer alternatives to traditional industrial solvents, with most formulations avoiding classification as Hazardous Air Pollutants. Many of our solutions can be used without requiring special NESHAP permits.

What Factors Should I Consider When Selecting a MicroCare Degreasing Cleaning Product?

The best choice depends on your specific cleaning needs. Consider factors like the type of contaminant you're removing, the materials being cleaned, and your preferred cleaning method (benchtop or vapor degreaser). Our technical support team can provide guidance based on your unique requirements and process parameters.

Which Is the Mildest MicroCare Cleaner?

Companies seek mild cleaners for many reasons, but the most common issue is materials compatibility. Strong cleaners deliver great results and clean quickly, but may attack soft plastics, rubber, conformal coatings or remove inks. If this are a concern, then you need for a cleaner with a low Kb value that will not dissolve, craze or attack softer substrates. From MicroCare, the most popular circuit board cleaners that are milder and plastic-safe would be: No-Clean Flux Remover — VeriClean™ Alcohol-Enhanced Flux Remover — ProClean™ IPA-Based Flux Remover – IsoClean™ Among the maintenance cleaners, the milder choices are the Streak-Free Glass Cleaner . Lastly, the Universal Contact Cleaner is a fine nonflammable choice for rinsing insoluble particulate from components.

Which Cleaner Works Best on Light Grease, Oils and Other Lubricants?

Until recently, there would have been only one recommendation and it would have stood out so far above all others you couldn’t even read the names of the second choice. The leader: the Uncured Epoxy Remover (#MCC-EPX). This cleaner is as good as than the old ozone-depleting 1,1,1-TCA, it dries reasonably quickly, is very acceptable environmentally, and it has very good toxicity ratings. The only drawback? It has a flashpoint, so it is not suitable for use in heated vapor degreasers or ultrasonic systems. But now there is a new top dog in town: the Lead-Free Flux Remover – PowerClean™ . This product was formulated first as a defluxer and then we discovered it is a great degreaser as well. It is nonflammable, dries quickly and has an excellent environmental record. The Reflow Oven Cleaner is a water-based degreaser is with exceptional handling. It’s nonflammable and slow-drying, but it works best when warm. Since many degreasers have heating capabilities, it’s ideal in applications where parts can be soaked for an hour or two in a dipping tank. For automated cleaning of large quantities of products, MicroCare recently launched another great choice: Tergo™ XCF2 Specialty Cleaning Fluid . As degreasers go, the material is unbeatable. If your degreasing problems are causing headaches, and using a vapor degreaser seems feasible, then check out the Tergo™ family of cleaning choices. Of all of these choices, we would recommend PowerClean™ as a starting point: it’s ozone-safe, nonflammable, and almost odor-free. Most of these cleaners are not completely plastic-safe, so be careful where you use them. Always test on soft plastics before deploying these cleaners widely. Get some samples and try them.
