Harsh Solvents Have Consequences. Techni-Pro Cleans Without the Damage
In electronics and cleanroom environments, the wrong chemical can create real damage — degrading sensitive materials, leaving behind conductive residue, or introducing health and safety issues. From flux removers that corrode EPS trays to contact cleaners that fail to evaporate fully, every poor choice costs you more in downtime, rework, or compliance risks.
Techni-Pro cleaning chemicals are engineered to meet the high standards of ISO-certified cleanrooms, SMT lines, and precision manufacturing spaces. Use this guide to navigate your options and find the cleaner that actually fits your surface, solvent needs, and regulatory environment.
CLEANERS: Choose Based on Contaminant, Surface, and Compatibility
| TYPE | BEST FOR | KEY FEATURES |
| Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) | General electronics, SMT, cleanrooms | Fast-evaporating, non-reactive, residue-free |
| Flux Removers | Post-solder PCB cleaning | Removes rosin, no-clean, lead-free fluxes; residue-free |
| Degreasers | Mechanical parts, heavy oils | Cuts grease/oils; may be water- or solvent-based |
| Contact Cleaners | Connectors, relays, switches | Displaces moisture, removes oxidation without film |
| ESD-Safe Alcohol Cleaners | Static-prone surfaces, EPS packaging | Anti-static, non-corrosive, safe on plastics |
| Hand Lotions & Cleaners | High-frequency user areas | Moisturizing, residue-free, cleanroom safe |
Tip: Choose IPA for cleaning and ESD-safe variants for EPS packaging zones.
Consider These When Choosing:
- Residue Concerns
- On PCBs and connectors, even trace amounts of residue can disrupt signal performance or soldering quality. Choose “no-residue” formulas explicitly.
- EPS Material Compatibility
- Avoid acetone and aggressive solvents in areas with foam packaging or EPS trays — they degrade, melt, or crack.
- Cleanroom Compatibility
- Use double- or triple-bagged, sterile-labeled packaging in ISO 3–5 environments. Trigger sprays or sterile squeeze bottles ensure control and cleanliness.
- Operator Safety
- Low-VOC, non-flammable, or non-toxic formulas are preferred in enclosed work areas. Less odor, less risk.
- Solvent Strength vs. Sensitivity
- Choose water-based for general cleaning and delicate surfaces. Use alcohol-based for fast drying. Save strong solvent degreasers for rugged tools, not PCBs.
