There are so many types and "flavors" of Vertrel^® that the choices can seem overwhelming. But it's really fairly simple. There are four main applications and four main solvent choices:

Defluxing

The first choice for defluxing must be Vertrel SFR, especially for lead-free soldering. The cleaner works great, is generally plastic-safe and is extremely versatile. Other options: Vertrel^® SMT which is a little more expensive; and Vertrel^® XMS Plus is optimized for use in high-performance vacuum systems. These are all great choices for electronics.

Degreasing

For degreasing, nothing beats the cost-effective performance of Vertrel SDG which is tailored to remove organic contamination. Another choice:  Vertrel^® MCA Plus is optimized for use in low-emission vacuum cleaning systems.

Drying

For optics and other drying applications, Vertrel^® XP10 absorbs the water, disolves residual ionics and delivers fast, reliable, consistent cleaning. Another great choice is Vertrel^® XDA, which includes a surfactant.

Particulate Removal

To remove ionically-bonded particulate, finings and other non-soluble debris, Vertrel^® XP and Vertrel^® XM are two great choices.
