Tergo GCF General Cleaning Fluid, Clear, 55 Gallon Drum
Tergo General Cleaning Fluid (GCF) is an azeotrope-like mixture of trans 1,2-dichloroethylene, HFE, and ethanol. It is ideally suited for use in vapor degreasing equipment. It offers improved solvency for both conventional oils and polar soils, such as salts and no-clean fluxes. It is a superior solvent compared to neat fluorocarbons while maintaining excellent compatibility with most plastic, ceramic, and metal components. Typical applications include precision and specialty cleaning of components with mixed soils and/or mixed substrates.
Tergo GCF has “zero” ozone depletion potential, and low global warming potential. It can replace hydrofluorocarbons (HCFs), TCE, and nPB in many applications. The components in Tergo GCF are accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP) program, as a substitute for ozone-depleting substances.
Its unique properties include a high density, low viscosity, and low surface tension for effective removal of a variety of soils.
Applications:
- Removes conventional oils like cutting oils and drawing oils
- Cleans polar soils such as rosin, salts, and no-clean flux residues
- Ideal for mixed soil or mixed substrate cleaning
- An excellent replacement for HCFCs, nPB, Perc, and TCE
- Great alternative for 3M Novec 72DA
