Micro Care Corp. has announced the availability of a new product, PowerClean™ II, for cleaning lead-free circuit boards during manufacturing, rework and repair. Using a unique formulation of chemistries based on Vertrel® solvents from DuPont and the VersaTrans® solvents from PPG, this new cleaner out-performs older formulations and is an ideal replacement for ozone-depleting solvents such as Genesolv® 2004.

Micro Care’s newest introduction makes a “clean break” with tradition by not using alcohol in the formulation. This is because the new lead-free pastes and fluxes often react chemically with alcohols in solvents, producing troublesome white residues. Alcohol-free PowerClean II avoids this situation, delivering excellent cleaning without the risk of white residues.

In addition, Micro Care has added extra cleaning power to PowerClean II because of the need for faster, more effective cleaning of the high-temperature fluxes used in lead-free materials. Many milder cleaners, even some from Micro Care, have difficulty removing lead-free residues due to the higher temperatures. Users will notice the speed and ease with which the cleaning process is completed with PowerClean II.

PowerClean II is available from authorized Micro Care distributors world-wide. Since 1983 Micro Care Corp. has been the world leader in precision cleaning, coating and lubricating and serves customers in industries as diverse as electronics, medical devices, aerospace and transportation from the factory in New Britain, CT. Micro Care is an ISO 9001:2000 registered company. www.microcare.com
