When it comes to selecting a new, long-term cleaning process, the challenge is to clean more with less. Regulators continue to impose new air quality regulations (fewer VOCs), new shipping, handling and storage regulations (fewer HazMats) and new waste treatment rules (fewer dead fish). In some locations, a lack of water and rising energy costs are…

Vapor degreasing is a powerful, proven cleaning technology originally developed in the 1940s. Today, using modern, environmentally-progressive solvents, vapor degreasing can deliver fast, consistent and safe cleaning results even for the most challenging applications. It does so in a manner that is both affordable and environmentally benign. This poster explains the key features and benefits…

When selecting a new, long-term critical cleaning process, sorting through all the conflicting claims of the cleaning product manufacturers is a challenge. Many companies only look at the cost of a machine or a drum of solvent. They believe the lowest priced machine or the cheapest cost per gallon is the best choice.This is not the…

The cleaning experts at MicroCare completed a highly detailed study comparing the costs of aqueous cleaning to the costs of vapor degreasing cleaning. This study was managed by Mr. Rob Lee, of MicroCare, and incorporates the latest information from industry sources, customer experiences and equipment makers.“In many companies and regions of the world, there is…

Advancements in the electronics industry are continuously leading to more sophisticated, intricate and miniaturized circuitry, and cleaning these smaller, denser, hotter components has become a major issue. Additionally, lead-free, no-clean and halide-free flux formulations have introduced new cleaning obstacles, and the phase-out of old-style solvents has eliminated many popular choices.  The purpose of this paper is to present…

When it comes to critical cleaning there are many aspects to factor in. Does the precision cleaning fluid clean well? Does it do the job quickly? Is it economically viable? Does it meet regulatory requirements and environmental issues? Importantly, is it safe for workers?Sometimes the cleaning methods may work well to remove the contaminant. But,…
