Tergo™ CFCF Chlorine Free Cleaning Fluid
Product Information
Extremely strong, non-flammable, non-chlorinated solvent for vapor degreasing
Applications:
- Removes fluxes, oils, greases, wax, pitch, particulate, fingerprints, paint, buffing compund, anti-rust agents and other ionic compounds
- Use on PWAs, common alloys, optics, ceramics, plastics and acrylics
- Ideal sustainable replacement for trichloroethylene (TCE), n-propyl bromide (nPB), benzene, Perchloroethylene (Perc), HCFCs, HFCs, PFCs and methylene chloride
Features:
- This high strength vapor degreasing fluid doesn't contain chlorinated or brominated solvents for long-term regulatory compliance
- Tergo Chlorine Free Cleaning Fluid is designed for use in a 3-sump vapor degreaser. Existing vapor degreasers will require an engineering analysis to assure cleanliness and production throughput. Achieving higher levels or production throughput with exisiting vapor degreasers may require auxiliary equipment
- Operates at normal vapor degreasing boiling point temperatures to remove a wide spectrum of soils
- High soil loading capacity mans lower solvent costs through long fluid batch life
- Compatible with most metals, plastics, elastomers and plastics
- Low surface tension and high liquid density
- Maintenance-free - no need for acid acceptance testing and scavengers
- Nonflammable for facility safety
- Zero ODP
- REACH, F-Gas and SNAP compliant
- Not a HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) and not subject to NESHAP regulation
- Not subject to SARA Title III (EPCRA) reporting requirements
Tergo Chlorine-Free Cleaning Fluid is an extremely strong, non-flammable, non-chlorinated solvent for use in vapor degreasers. It has excellent materials compatibility and is designed to work at normal vapor degreasing temperatures.
Tergo CFCF is an environmentally advanced vapor degreasing solvent. This diverse fluid has a boiling point consistent with historical vapor degreasing solvents, and can clean a wide variety of soils, while maintaining excellent material compatibility. Tergo CFCF demonstrates low surface tension and high liquid density, which maximizes cleaning efficiency. It has been designed to work in commonly designed two sump vapor degreasers, allowing for broad acceptance and minimizing new equipment requirements.
This technology can remove no-clean, lead-free and RMA fluxes off of delicate substrates such as flexible circuitry or remove stubborn buffing compounds that are impregnated into bearing raceways. It is also very effective at displacing and removing fine particulates. Tergo CFCF has very high soil loading capability, which translates into lower solvent costs through long fluid bath life. This fluid has a high vapor density which further extends solvent conservation as the vapors are easily condensed and precipitate back into the machine instead of being dragged out with the parts being cleaned.
The vapor degreasing process with Tergo CFCF allows for maximum cleaning flexibility and broad compatibility with plastics and elastomers. This innovative fluid eliminates the dependence on chlorinated solvent additives, which are traditionally used to enhance the aggression of milder fluorinated fluids.
Users should also consult the appropriate Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional details.
