When it comes to pre-saturated wipes, the smallest things can make a big difference. Some may not be obvious at first glance, but they do play a part in cleaning outcomes. There are three things to consider when choosing the best pre-saturated wipe for the job. They are material, fluid formulation and packaging.

As electronic components continue to dominate the automotive sector, ensuring the reliability of these intricate systems becomes paramount. With modern vehicles relying on complex circuitry and miniaturized PCBs, keeping long-term dependability is not just a competitive edge but a crucial safety requirement. In this context, conformal coatings function as a shield against harsh environmental conditions, supplying protection to delicate PCBs. However, the effectiveness of conformal coating is directly linked to the cleanliness of the PCB before application.

Swellex™ Swelling fluid helps simplify medical device assembly by making it easier to join silicone, polyurethane or other thermoelastic tubing to rigid plastic or barbed fittings. This speeds assembly times, increasing throughput and boosting your overall productivity. But there are other advantages too.

PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) have changed over the decades and cleaning fluids and methods need to keep pace. Increased packaging density, the introduction of new materials and more stringent environmental requirements makes cleaning modern PCBs challenging. Fortunately, there are cleaning fluids and methods to help. Here are some examples.

September is National Preparedness Month, and rightfully so. September is rife with severe weather events we need to be prepared for. Whether it’s a hurricane, flood, ice storm, fire, earthquake, tornado, mud slide or other unplanned catastrophe, all can cause a significant threat to fiber optic networks across the globe. Of course, each disaster requires a different response to repair and restore a network, but here are some general guidelines to follow.
