Yes, there are. MicroCare can make many different grades of our cleaners to satisfy the client’s requirements for purity. For example, several products, such as Vertrel™ XF have a super-pure grades for the semiconductor, LCD and disk drive industries. This means the accuracy of the blending, the nonvolatile residues and water content are all exactly where…
The brominated molecule known as nPB (also called n-Propyl Bromide, 1-Bromopropane or CAS # 106-94-6) is a nonflammable fluid. It is a powerful cleaner with a low global warming potential. It is used as an alternative to CFC-113, methyl chloroform, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in many critical cleaning, drying, carrier fluid and other high-value specialty…
The energy efficiency of vapor degreasing is one of the main advantages of solvent cleaning when compared to water cleaning. Water cleaning uses a great deal of electricity while solvent cleaning uses far, far less. For customers in locations where electricity is expensive, vapor degreasing is the most energy efficient and affordable way to clean.…
AK-225 is also called HCFC-225 and has now been phased-out across most of the world. It would not be a good choice for modern cleaning processes.To be fair, it has a few good points. It’s a moderately powerful. It works well in vapor degreasers. It is not flammable. It is not as aggressive on plastics…
Vapor degreasers actually are pretty simple machines. They use a straightforward thermo-mechanical process — boiling and condensing a low-boiling cleaning fluid — in conjunction with some clever hardware design to deliver high quality cleaning quickly, consistently, easily and inexpensively.The Vapor Degreaser DesignA vapor degreaser is a special type of still. In the simplest form, the degreaser boils…
Equipment costs vary widely, so it’s a little hard to provide an exact answer. It’s important to note that these systems have incredible through-put. While a $100,000 aqueous system is on the small size, for the same amount of money you can get a complex, full-featured, high-capacity solvent cleaning system and still have lower operating…
