Versatile flux remover features unique and innovative new chemistry

MicroCare Corp ’s new flux remover has a unique and innovative new chemistry. Tergo High Performance Flux Remover is a non-flammable, low-temperature rinsing fluid with a non-volatile additive that performs the cleaning function. This unique formulation is specifically engineered to clean challenging, high-temperature solder pastes and fluxes, and it removes white residues from PCBs. This fluid is highly effective at cleaning complex shapes found on PCBs. The chemistry also can be used as a degreaser and can even remove slight oxidation and tarnish from finished surfaces. It is compatible with traditional vapour degreasing procedures so no hardware modifications are normally required. This makes it a drop-in replacement for many older vapour degreasing chemistries that are being phased-out under environmental, health, safety or economic pressures. David Ferguson, Tergo product manager at MicroCare, is pleased with the market acceptance of the new cleaner. “The real target of this product are companies using old-style aqueous cleaning systems, which are large, noisy and expensive to operate,” he said. “The Tergo High Performance Flux Remover enables fast and consistent cleaning without water, so it is better on the environment and on the wallet!”
