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
	Applications such as: • Cleaning • Degreasing • Surface Treatment • Drying • Lubricant deposition • Heat transfer • Aerosol components • De-fluxing • Stencil cleaning • Lead-free solder defluxing • Corrosion Inhibitors, Metal Surface Finishing and Metal Colouring Chemicals
	Range of Degreasing Solvents: • SOLVE-CARE ® SYSTEM • Aqueous or Solvents? • Fluorinated Solvents • Chlorinated Solvents • Sealed Delivery System (SDS) for Chlorinated Solvents • Hydro Chloro Fluoro Carbons (HCFC) • n-Propyl Bromide (nPB) Degreasing Solvents • Non-aqueous (Hydrocarbon) Cleaning Solvents • Semi-aqueous Cleaning Solvents • Aqueous Cleaning Solvents • Biological Cleaning
	Corrosion Inhibitors Specialty Chemicals For Metal Surface Finishing In addition we offer specialty chemicals for surface finishing and printed circuit boards. They are specifically formulated for the tough finishing and treatment needs of the 21st century and are sold under the trade names: Aquaease, Aquamill, Black Magic, Mi-Tique, Laser, Stripol and Metalguard.
	Cleaning Solvents: We offer cleaning solvents (fully aqueous -, semi-, or non-aqueous) including products for cold cleaning and for vapour degreasing processes (with ultrasonics as an option.) They can be used in manual cleaning such as brushing, cleaning wipes, or in dipping or spraying equipment, or in open cleaning baths. They 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), they 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.
