Tergo MCF
Metal Cleaning Fluid (MCF)
Tergo MCF (Metal Cleaning fluid) is an effective, sustainable cleaner with a low global warming potential
Tergo Metal Cleaning Fluid is a patent-pending solvent designed to clean heavy hydrocarbons, greases, caramelized flux residues, waxes and silicone soils. It has a broad range of material compatibility, making it an excellent choice for cleaning substrates with multiple materials of construction. Tergo Metal Cleaning Fluid is a non-flammable, thermally and hydrolytically stable cleaner with azeotrope-like properties. Further, this fluid does not require chemical stabilizers or
scavengers to prevent it from breaking down in the presence of excess water or flux activators. While Tergo MCF was designed for efficient use in a vapor degreaser, it is also ideally suited as a line flush fluid, or for solvent extraction applications.
• High Solvency Degreaser and Flux Remover
• Cleans Solder Flux, Heavy Grease, Silicone fluid, and Resilient Contaminants
• Ideal Replacement for TCE and nPB
Application:
Tergo Metal Cleaning Fluid is designed to replace nPB, TCE, PFCs and HFEs solvents used to remove stubborn soils from a variety of substrates, including metals and metal alloys as well as Printed Circuit Boards. This rugged formula can be used to clean parts in the aerospace, automotive, medical, oil exploration and industrial sectors. Some of the potential applications include:
• Precision Cleaning
• Flux Removal
• Hydrocarbon Extraction
• Binder displacement
• Flushing agent
• Silicone deposition or removal
• Metal Cleaning
• Cleaning Down-hole components
