Techspray has engineered the PWR-4™ cleaning solvents to be a safer replacement for n-propyl bromide and other toxic solvents.
Global, national, state, and municipal regulations continue to limit the cleaning choices available to manufacturers.
Historically, dip-and-brush, often with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), was the most common method used in benchtop (manual) cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
PWR-4™ is formulated with trans 1,2-dichloroethylene (trans-DCE) and does not contain nPB, TCE, Perc, MeCl, or any other hazardous air pollutants (HAP).
Beginning January 1, 2015, HCFC-225 (also called “AK225”), a common precision solvent for high-end cleaning, will be banned for usage, per the Clean Air Act under the Montreal Protocol.
As the world continues to get smaller, and millions of pounds of chemical products are shipped between countries daily, a Global Harmonized System (GHS) is being implemented to aid in the communication of hazards and risks.
Duster, also called “canned air”, “compressed air”, and “dusting gas”, is one of those product categories that seems so simple, which leads to many misconceptions.
