For next generation optical networks to manage the enormous amount of data and high connectivity speeds demanded by the consumer, it is essential that a fiber network is properly installed and maintained. This means ensuring that all fiber and connections are perfectly clean. This avoids potential problems which could result in unreliable performance or a…

In recent years, the metal-working industry has seen an incredible range of changes. The introduction of composites and polymers, global competition to make parts smaller, lighter and more economically and ever-changing environmental regulations and requirements has made it an exciting but challenging time to be in the industry. It is imperative that companies today address…

In the world of vapor degreasing, there are three types of solvent degreasing systems. Mono-solvent cleaning, azeotrope cleaning and co-solvent /bi-solvent cleaning. Of them all, bi-solvent cleaning is perhaps the most complex but also the most powerful. We’ll explain what each method is and how to use them. We will also look at how to…

In the world of precision cleaning, there are four common process choices for engineers. Hydrocarbon cleaning, aqueous cleaning, semi-aqueous cleaning, and solvent cleaning with vapor degreasers. Each method has its strength and weaknesses, but one of the most environmentally acceptable choice for critical cleaning is vapor degreasing with modern specialty fluids. This is particularly true…

Flexible cleaning processes help produce reliable products. Critical cleaning processes are in many industries from electronics to telecommunications to aerospace and medical devices. They all require different degrees of ‘clean’. But one common characteristic that defines “critical cleaning” is that if the cleaning is not done properly, the product simply will not function reliably for…

At most companies the emphasis is on cutting operating costs. And there is one potentially large source of savings in the parts cleaning department. Consider switching your aqueous or other cleaning system for a small, fast and efficient vapor degreaser. Today, many innovative manufacturers are doing just that, simply to save money on their electric…
