Vertrel Solvents - Case Studies

This site is all about solvent-based precision cleaning. Our goal is to help you clean your parts faster, better, safer and cheaper. If you have difficult cleaning problems, then we're the people to call.

To do this, we usually advocate the use of the Vertrel^® family of solvents and specialty fluids, made by the clever engineers at DuPont Company. The Vertrel^® solvents are nonflammable, fast-drying, ozone-safe, plastic-safe, and generally nontoxic.

In general, the Vertrel^® chemistries are used in specialized cleaning machines called "vapor degreasers" or "vapor defluxers." These systems are popular because they are designed to recycle the solvent automatically, as you clean. With ultra-short cycle times, these systems produce clean components in large quantities, quickly and inexpensively. The components come out dry and cool to the touch. You can also use Vertrel solvents in small, simple, benchtop ultrasonic machines, dip tanks, and even in aerosols.

Here are some case studies from actual companies that have -- and are! -- using Vertrel^® successfully:

If you've ever been in a hospital, on an airplane or under water, you know the importance of clean oxygen. Here's one way to keep those critical systems working at the peak of efficiency.

A regional sub-contract manufacturer of medical sub-assemblies finds Vertrel^® is just what the doctor ordered.

A California PCB maker uses Vertrel^® to get their boards really, really clean.

A major manufacturer of ball bearings finds that Vertrel^® products delivers cleaner, more reliable bearings less expensively.

A major California maker of high-voltage subsystems choses Vertrel^® as their least-expensive cleaning option

In a slightly more obscure application, it is discovered that Vertrel^® can lift fingerprints off of a wide variety of materials. Great for your home detectiive kits.

Precision Degreasing -- Here's how one company ensure that their landing gear works every time.

Today's high-density disk drives store gigabytes of data without breaking into a sweat; a feat considered impossible just a decade ago. Reliability and durability come from precision cleaning with Vertrel^®.

When you're dealing with high voltages, you demand good gloves to insulate you from more juice than you'll find in a Florida orange grove. Here's how one maker of those insulators insures their product works when it's needed.
