Precision & Electronics Cleaning

Banner Chemicals UK can offer the widest range of cleaning chemicals, advice and technical support.
Our products have an excellent environmental, health and safety profiles.

	Serving industries such as:
	• Aerospace • Electrical and Electronics • Engineering and Precision Engineering • Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) • Medical Appliances • Industrial and medical gas
	Applications such as:
	• Precision Cleaning • Degreasing • Cleaning Electronic and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) • Heat transfer • Aerosol components • Oxygen systems cleaning • De-fluxing • Stencil cleaning • Lead-free solder defluxing • Conformal Coating / Protective Coating
	Range of Degreasing Solvents: • SOLVE-CARE ® SYSTEM: Sealed Delivery System (SDS) for Chlorinated Solvents • Fluorinated Solvents • Chlorinated Solvents • n-Propyl Bromide (nPB) Degreasing Solvents • Non-aqueous (Hydrocarbon) Cleaning Solvents • Semi-aqueous Cleaning Solvents • Aqueous Cleaning Solvents
	Conformal Coatings Essential in harsh environments, conformal coatings are applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals and temperature extremes. The Bectron ™ range offers products for thin film coating, thick film coating and potting or encapsulation of PCBs. With Acrylic, Poly-Urethane and Silicon base chemistries and coatings that can be optimised for application by: spray, select coat, dip or brush techniques this range of products can help ensure maximum performance and reliability of any PCB
	Cleaning Solvents:
	Banner Chemicals can offer cleaning solvents (fully aqueous -, semi-, or non-aqueous) including products for cold cleaning and for vapour degreasing processes (with ultrasonics as an option.) Banner Chemicals cleaning solvents can be used in manual cleaning such as brushing, cleaning wipes, or in dipping or spraying equipment, or in open cleaning baths. Our products can also be employed in the latest, fully enclosed, non-emissive systems and can be used in specific equipment, tailored to the needs of the particular cleaning problem or substrate. For example, our Dry Cleaning Solvent products are the more acceptable alternatives to chloro-fluorocarbons (CFCs); per-fluorocarbons (PFCs); and hydrchloro-fluorocarbon (eg: HCFC 141b)
	Banner Chemicals can offer comparable cleaning results but with more acceptable environmental profiles, especially when used in the LATEST GENERATION OF LOW EMISSIVE MACHINES
	The technical properties include a range of boiling points to suit most applications. Most of our products have low (or zero) Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and most have low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Moreover, some do not contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion at all, and have good toxicological properties. Our products can replace virtually all of the commonly used solvents in a broad range of cleaning processes including: 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone, CFC-113, d-limonene, HCFC-141b, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), lacquer thinner, methylene chloride (MC), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl propyl ketone (MPK), mineral spirits, naphtha solvents, stoddard solvents, toluene, and xylene.
