Acetone Chemicals: First Aid Measures for Overexposure

Acetone is a naturally occurring and synthesized organic compound whose scientific formula was discovered in 1832 by chemists Jean-Baptiste Dumas and Justus von Liebig. Since then, acetone chemicals have been used for various purposes around the globe, with fingernail polish removal being the most popular application. Acetone chemicals work like a dream for stripping away […]

Isopropyl Alcohol: What is An IPA Cleaner?

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a compound with the chemical formula C3H8O or C3H7OH or CH3CHOHCH3. Chemical elements that form the compound make it colorless — a desirable quality for cleaning minutely porous materials that could absorb color from cleaners — and highly evaporable, which makes it an optimal solution for cleaning soils from electronics. Consequently, […]

IPA Electronic Cleaning: An Overview

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a popular cleaning solution in the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. In each case, the compound is commonly used to clean electronics, ranging from computer components, to display screens, to parts in sound equipment. There’s a difference between IPA you get from a local pharmacy and IPA you acquire from an […]

Precision Cleaning of Parts: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Precision cleaning is a refined cleaning process that removes super-micrometre particles and residues that are thinner than a monolayer. The maximum amount of dirt allowed on parts that undergo precision cleaning is ? 50 mg / m² (1). Precision cleaning delivers a deeper level of cleaning than “intermediate cleaning” and “final cleaning”, but not as […]

Aqueous Based Cleaners: 4 Cost Saving Strategies

Aqueous based cleaners are often a good choice for the environment and workers who perform cleaning operations. The water base is friendlier to leaf and limb than many solvent based cleaners. In many cases, this is due to an absence or low volume of volatile organic compounds in the cleaner, which become known as hazardous […]
