MicroCare’s innovative vapor degreasing chemistries help improve the manufacturing process of electronic devices. The company’s Tergo family of cleaning products boasts impressive ‘green’ credentials.
“When it comes to selecting cleaning solutions for vapor degreasing, we are seeing a change to the approach in which the electronics industry is choosing their cleaning processes,” said Rob Lee, Senior Market and Technical Manager.
“A very important consideration is its sustainability. Cleaning processes must minimize any negative environmental impact, while also conserving resources like energy and water. At the same time, it has to clean effectively. This is particularly important as electronic components become smaller and more intricate.”
“Another significant factor is ensuring the safety of the workers. The Tergo product range upholds regulatory compliances with excellent toxicity profiles, making them safer for the environment and people. The vapor degreasing and the Tergo product range, including Tergo high performance flux remover are having a very positive effect on long-term sustainable cleaning for companies around the world.”
The Tergo high performance flux remover is a non-flammable fluid engineered for cleaning PCBs in vapor degreasers. It features a non-volatile additive specifically developed to clean challenging high-temperature solder pastes and flux residue, stubborn white residue and water-soluble (OA) fluxes. This flux remover is a drop-in replacement for many older legacy chemistries that are being phased-out under environmental, health, safety or economic pressures. It also makes it an excellent replacement for power-hungry aqueous cleaning machines, therefore helping to conserve natural resources.
The Tergo chlorine-free cleaning fluid is a highly advanced non-flammable cleaner, which contains no harmful chlorine-containing elements. This ensures it is within strict global regulatory and environmental boundaries. It is an effective degreaser offering comprehensive and reliable cleaning of the most challenging contamination including complex shapes and delicate substrates.
In addition, since the vapor degreasing process is automated, it provides an effective way to batch clean circuit boards with just one operator. It easily meets local and global health agency Covid-19 social distancing recommendations without manufacturers needing to stagger production schedules or run extra shifts.
“When used together with highly advanced cleaning fluids like Tergo high performance flux remover and Tergo chlorine-free cleaning fluid, vapor degreasing is a very effective and safe method to clean PCBs,” concluded Lee.
