Propyl bromide (NPB) is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a cleaning solvent for degreasing precision parts, electronics, and metal. NPB is highly effective at these tasks, but there are several drawbacks to using an NPB cleaning solution in large volume. If your company or organization currently uses NPB for essential cleaning operations, […]
In the metallurgical industry, rosin is used as a flux for soldering applications. It is used to prevent metal parts and assemblies from oxidizing during the heat treating process. Commonly used for soldering electronic parts, rosin creates a barrier between metal workpieces and the heat source that’s used to perform the soldering operation. This scenario […]
Soldering is a metallurgical procedure that binds two or more pieces of metal together by liquidizing a “filler metal” that distributes between them via capillary action. If clearance between the pieces is too great or too small (.0015” inches is recommended), the stability of the joint can suffer, as its strength primarily relies on the […]
Before you head to a local chemical supply store to purchase industrial cleaners for your business-critical cleaning operations, take some time to search for the product you need online. When you shop industrial cleaners online, you receive at least three benefits that are absent when you shop in-store: You find the product you need without […]
Most equipment that is degreased is powered off before the degreasing process begins, but there are also situations in which equipment must be degreased while it is still energized; that is, while the circuitry in the equipment still carries an electrical charge. Cleaning energized equipment involves a higher level of danger than cleaning non-energized equipment. […]
