Sustainable cleaning solutions promote green credentials

“When it comes to selecting cleaning solutions, we are seeing a change to the approach in which the electronics industry is choosing their cleaning processes,” said Scott Wells, General Manager, MicroCare Europe.

“A very important consideration is its sustainability. Cleaning processes must minimise any negative environmental impact, whilst also conserving resources like energy. At the same time, it has to clean effectively. This is particularly important as electronic components become smaller and more intricate,” said Wells.

“Another significant factor is ensuring the safety of the workers. The Tergo product range upholds regulatory compliances with excellent toxicity profiles, making them safer for the environment and people,” he continued.

Tergo High Performance Flux Remover is a non-flammable fluid engineered for cleaning PCBs in vapour degreasers. It features a non-volatile additive specifically developed to clean challenging high-temperature solder pastes and flux residues, stubborn white residues and water-soluble (OA) fluxes. 

It aims to be a drop-in replacement for many older legacy chemistries.
