Industrial cleaners as ideal nPB replacement
VATIS UPDATE Part
Article body

Techspray, the United States, a leading manufacturer of precision cleaners for electronics, and industrial and electrical applications, has introduced PWR-4 solvent cleaners. PWR-4 solvents are ideal replacements for n-propyl bromide (nPB) and other toxic industrial solvent because they are safer, non-flammable, and cost effective. PWR-4 quickly blasts off oils, greases, fluxes, silicones, dirt and grime.

PWR-4 is available in aerosol or bulk for vapor-degreasing, ultrasonic and immersion cleaning. It is engineered to remain stable and effective over thousands of cycles in vapor degreasing equipment. PWR-4 is stabilized and safe for metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and brass. PWR-4 Flux Remover (part #3401) quickly cleans the most difficult baked-on R, RMA & no-clean fluxes from electronic assemblies. PWR-4 Industrial Maintenance Cleaner (#3400) quickly cleans the most difficult greases and oils from electronics, relays, and motors.

n-Propyl Bromide (nPB), Trichloroethylene (TCE), and Perchloroethylene (Perc) are three examples of harmful chemicals that are commonly used in industrial applications because they are non-flammable, have high solvency, and are relatively inexpensive. Because of safety concerns, they are under close scrutiny by OSHA, EPA, and local agencies. Contact: Techspray – Asia, ITW Contamination Control Electronics Asia, 3A International Business Park, ICON@IBP, #06-16, Singapore 609935, Tel: +65-9299-6679; E-mail: dcheng@itwcce.com.
