The COVID-19 is making the availability of IPA scarce. This has led to widespread global demand for IPA. To help counter this impact, MicroCare Corporation is providing an alternative to IPA that cleans just as well, if not better.

Dan Sinclair, MicroCare national sales manager, said: “IPA is one of the most common cleaning fluids used as it is inexpensive and readily available. However, due to Coronavirus, IPA is in short supply as it is being widely used in a number of hygiene products like hand sanitizers, cleaning solutions and disinfectants.


“MicroCare offers a full line of IPA alternatives that clean just as well, if not better than IPA. Unlike IPA, they are non-flammable for added plant and worker safety. They include everything from cleaning fluids like SuprClean Heavy Duty Flux Remover to ESD Cleaning Wipes and the No-Clean Flux Remover Cleaning Pen. The MicroCare portfolio of progressive cleaning fluids have been developed to help companies clean properly, safely and more economically."
