When disposing of MicroCare solvents, remember the solvents never wear out. Inside a vapor degreaser the solvent is automatically recycled, and can be used for hundreds or even thousands of cleaning operations. This is a major difference from aqueous cleaning, where the soaps and saponifiers are used only once.Some locations now are offering a recycling service,…

Many of the MicroCare cleaning fluids technically are called “azeotropes.” That’s important because azeotropic cleaning lowers your costs, boosts cleaning effectiveness and enhances worker safety. While azeotropes are difficult to make, these strong benefits make the effort worthwhile. So the next question you’re going to ask is, what’s an azeotrope and how does an azeotrope do…
In the world of vapor degreasing, there are three types of solvent degreasing systems: mono-solvent cleaning, co-solvent cleaning and bi-solvent cleaning. Here we take a deep dive into the bi-solvent cleaning process:In general, the MicroCare mono-solvent cleaning fluids can perform all of the required cleaning jobs. But once in a while a customer has a particular contamination that can’t…
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…
