Versatile new flux remover introduced at IPC APEX EXPO 2017

Featuring a new chemistry, Tergo High Performance Flux Remover will be the main product focus of MicroCare at APEX. It is a non-flammable, low-temperature rinsing fluid with a non-volatile additive that performs the cleaning function. This formulation is specifically engineered to clean challenging, high-temperature solder pastes and fluxes, and it removes white residues from PCBs.

This Tergo fluid is highly effective at cleaning complex shapes found on PCBs. The chemistry also can be used as a degreaser and can even remove slight oxidation and tarnish from finished surfaces. It is compatible with traditional vapour degreasing procedures so no hardware modifications are normally required. This makes it a drop-in replacement for many older vapour degreasing chemistries that are being phased-out under environmental, health, safety or economic pressures.

Since its recent introduction, Tergo High Performance Flux Remover has been well received and has gained momentum due to its outstanding cleaning capabilities and remarkable environmental profile.

David Ferguson, Tergo Product Manager at MicroCare, said: “The real target of this product are companies using old-style aqueous cleaning systems, which are large, noisy and expensive to operate. The Tergo High Performance Flux Remover enables fast and consistent cleaning without water, so it is better on the environment and on the wallet.”

The MicroCare team will be at booth 1900 from 14^th-16^th February 2017 at IPC APEX EXPO.
