Contaminant buildup can contribute to electronics failures by affecting electrical contacts, promoting corrosion, and interfering with component performance over time. Flux residues left after soldering, fingerprint oils transferred during assembly, salt deposits in...
Grease, flux residue, dust, and moisture accumulation on circuit boards and electrical contacts are among the leading causes of premature equipment failure in industrial operations. Understanding the key benefits of using an aerosol degreaser for electronics helps...
Not sure what household aerosols are? Should you avoid them all together? In this blog post, we’re going to do a deep dive into aerosols, providing you definitions, examples, and dangers associated with popular household cleaning products. Read on to learn more...
At the end of 2014, another industrial cleaning solution that produces toxic effects in humans and the environment began the phase out process for discontinuation of use on U.S. soil: AK225 -- also known as Asahiklin. This means that many companies and organizations...
We typically associate the term “aerosol” with liquid that’s compressed in a spray can that emits a fine mist when we press a button on top of the can. However, nature and not humans created the first aerosols. Technically, an aerosol is a “colloidal system of solid...
Cleaning agents are purchased in aerosol form for various types of cleaning operations, from performing dielectric degreasing on energized motors to removing everyday soils from work surfaces, to removing flux residue from heat treated metal. However, regardless of...
Does it seem odd that the cans of aerosol solvent your organization uses are about the size of the cans of aerosol cleaner you use at home? If you run an industrial operation that relies on aerosol solvent for business-critical cleaning applications, there’s a good...
For heavy industrial aerosol users (over 5,000 cans per year) one of the growing concerns is disposing of spray cans commonly used for degreasing, contact cleaning and flux removal. Aerosol cans are not considered to be hazardous waste when both the product and the...
Dielectric solvents contain a dielectric material the prevents electrical current from traveling through the solvent stream back to the solvent container and the worker who holds it. If a solvent doesn’t contain dielectric material, the solvent stream could serve as...
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....
