MicroCare successfully launches its unique VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean
MicroCare Corporation launched its most innovative and ‘green’ addition to its portfolio of benchtop cleaners for use on electronics, VOC-Free Flux Remover, UltraClean at the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show. Released to the US market in 2012, VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean has generated widespread interest and is now available in Europe and Asia. The product is a very strong and easy to use flux remover which combines a non-chlorinated, halogen-free formula, a must for today’s green consumer.
VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean, is the superior choice to clean rosin fluxes, synthetic fluxes, ‘no-clean’ fluxes and hard-to-clean solder pastes used in the assembly and manufacture of printed circuit boards. Ideal for rework and repair tasks, it is also suitable for use in cleaning fingerprints, moisture, light oxides, dust and other airborne contamination frequently found on circuit boards returned for warranty or service work.

MicroCare has developed the VOC (volatile organic compounds) free flux remover to meet the high performance of solvent-based cleaners. VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean has been tested to recognised standards in the electronics industry and is a viable and unique alternative to many solvent based flux removers.

Scott Wells, European Business Development Manager said: “This was the first time that MicroCare has introduced VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean to a mass audience in Europe. There was a lot of interest in MicroCare cleaning products, not just from existing customers requesting further information on the complete range, but also from a variety of industries including the medical and military sectors.

“We were keen to see what response the new VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean would achieve when presented to visitors. As the move towards solvent-free and low-VOC materials increases and stringent EU regulations are brought in, it was important for MicroCare chemists to develop products that meet environmental issues, whilst still maintaining high cleaning performance. The interest in VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean at the exhibition was excellent and client enquiries reflected this.”

With a low odour, medium strength (making it generally ‘plastic-safe’) and fast –drying, the VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean ingredients are completely REACH compliant, an important European safety standard, and is also F-Gas compliant with an almost zero global warming index.

With the increased awareness of the environmental effects of high VOC containing products, MicroCare has developed VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean to meet environmental expectations. The new product offers all the environmental benefits without losing its purpose of being able to clean effectively and efficiently. In lab testing, VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean was the strongest flux remover in its class on the market today compared to other ‘green’ cleaners and ticks all the boxes, from environmental issues to outstanding performance.

Engineered as the best choice for multinational companies, VOC-Free Flux Remover UltraClean features ingredients that are approved for use anywhere in the world. It also has been engineered for use with the MicroCare TriggerGrip cleaning system, for a faster, safer, and more economical process of cleaning printed circuit boards at the workbench.
