Product overview

Built around the cleaning result

Tergo Chlorine-Free Low VOC Rinse Agent is a proprietary formulation of a Fluorocarbon and Ethanol. It is ideally suited for use in a vapor degreaser in regions where low VOC fluids are required. It offers improved solvency for polar soils while maintaining excellent compatibility with most plastic, ceramic, and metal components. Typical applications include precision and specialty cleaning and rinsing for removal of particulate, fingerprints, and light soils from metal, plastic, and glass parts. Tergo Chlorine-Free Low VOC Rinse Agent has low global warming potential. It can replace hydrofluoroethers (HFEs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluoro-carbons (PFCs) in many applications. Tergo Chlorine-Free Low VOC Rinse Agent is accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP) program, as a substitute for ozone depleting substances. Its unique properties include a high density, low viscosity, and low surface tension for effective particle and soil removal.

Most plastics and elastomers can be safely cleaned in Tergo Chlorine-Free Low VOC Rinse Agent. These include:

Long-term exposure data simulating exposure of vapor degreaser construction materials is available from upon request.

Process development

Specify chemistry and equipment together

Cleaning performance depends on the complete process: chemistry, concentration, temperature, time, mechanical action, filtration, rinsing, drying and bath maintenance.

eChem can review representative parts and soils, identify the right starting point, and help validate the process before it is released to production.

Current documentation

TDS and SDS review

Always confirm the latest technical and safety data before use. Availability, packaging and regulatory status can change.

Manufacturer reference: MicroCare Tergo Performance Fluids ↗

Application note: Final chemistry selection and operating parameters should be confirmed against the current TDS/SDS and tested on representative parts, soils and downstream requirements.
