The Trigger Grip PCB Cleaning Tool helps PCB fabricators save money in three ways.1. The TriggerGrip™  helps control the cleaning fluid flow. It prevents overuse and overspary.2. The TriggerGrip tools ensures the flux remover aerosol can empties completely, using every last drop of cleaner. No cleaning fluid gets thrown away.3. The TriggerGrip brushes and syringe let operators target only…

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the primary sources of low-altitude smog. 'Organic' means the chemical comes from something that used to be alive; 'Volatile' means it evaporates quickly; 'Compound' means it's a complex molecule containing many ingredients and not just a simple element. If a VOC has a long atmospheric life, it will react with…

As noted elsewhere in this web site, a VOC is an organic chemical (containing carbon) which can evaporate and remain in the atmosphere. While these materials float in the atmosphere the VOCs react with sunlight and can contribute to smog in cities. However, to be a harmful VOC the organics must have a significant atmospheric…

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the primary sources of low-altitude smog. “Organic” means the chemical contains carbon atomas and that usually means it comes from something that used to be alive; “Volatile” means it evaporates quickly; “Compound” means it’s a complex molecule containing many ingredients and not just a simple element.VOCs contribute to smog in…

For fabricators to produce quality optical components that deliver the fast, reliable performance as intended, they must meet exacting quality standards. That means fabricators must take extreme care with each stage of the production process. This includes the important step of cleaning the lenses, prisms, diffraction gratings, optical filters and mirrors that make up the…

The short answer is no. Water based end face cleaners are generally unsuitable for fiber optics. These products tend to be weaker cleaners and have high surface tension and low viscosity, which minimizes their effectiveness. Water based end fiber optic cleaners usually will not dissipate any static which locks particulate on to end faces. In cold…
