MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY |
| Alkaline blend of anionic and non-ionic surfactants and solvent for complete contamination removal |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, immersion, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
All duty precision cleaning where surfaces must be contamination free, with no residues remaining prior to coating |
Light oils, particulates, stacking wax, tape residue, wax, pressure sensitive adhesive |
Most glass, plastics, quartz, sapphire, silicon and silicon carbide, avoid BK-7 |
| SP2275 |
Neutral pH detergent for cleaning of substrates sensitive to acids or alkalis |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, immersion, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
Where caustics or acids are not tolerated. SP2275 is environmentally friendly |
Wax, various polishing slurries, light oils |
Most glass including BK-7, aluminum and reactive metals, silicon, germanium |
| Neutral detergent for cleaning of substrates sensitive to acids or alkalis. Low-foaming formulation |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, immersion, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
Clean various optical components with minimal foam |
Mounting wax and various polishing slurries, light oils |
Most glass formulations including BK-7 |
| SP2250-2LF |
Low-foam alkaline formula with non-ionic surfactants, solvents |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, spray, immersion tanks, mechanical scrub |
Robust formula can be used in pressure spray washers including flat panel scrubbers |
Light oils, particulates, wax, pressure sensitive adhesive, light cutting oils |
Most glass formulations, soda lime, Corning 7059, zinc selenide, Corning 1737, avoid BK-7 glass |
| High-alkaline detergent blend with solvent action for effective cleaning, leaving no organic or inorganic residue after rinsing |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, immersion, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
Potassium hydroxide base ensures heavy organic (oil, grease) removal from most substrates |
Hydrocarbons and other hydrophobic soils such as heavy oils and wax |
Most glass formulations, avoid BK-7 |
| DP188 |
Alkaline blend of anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants that provide a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance when removing the most difficult contamination. Low surface tension formulation |
Ultrasonics, immersion,
hand wipe, mechanical scrub |
Immersion of polished glass material in DP188 will wet out and penetrate for removing contamination |
Alumina and cerium oxide, diamond slurry, light oil, fingerprints, wax, pitch, particles |
Borosilicate, Corning 1737, Corning 7059, fused silica, germanium, sapphire, soda lime, quartz, zinc selenide |
| D-limonene based cleaner used at full strength and slightly above ambient temperature |
Megasonics, ultrasonics, immersion, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
Scrub the residues from bonding and positioning operations, followed by thorough DI rinse |
Various polishing slurries, wax, light oils, pitch, pressure sensitive adhesives |
Glass, broad spectrum metals, polycarbonate |
| SW4120 |
Aqueous detergent for applications requiring low foam |
Low pressure spray, ultrasonics, hand scrub, mechanical scrub |
Cleaning various optical components with minimal foam. Primarily for use in low pressure applications |
Fingerprints, light oils, dust particles |
Most glass formulations except BK-7. Plastics and metals. Except soft metals such as aluminum |
| An effective alkaline detergent that is non foaming |
Pressure spray, ultrasonics, aggressive mechanical scrub |
Cleaning most optical components with no foam generation. Low surface tension formulation |
Fingerprints, light oils, dust particles |
Most glass formulations except BK-7. Plastics and metal. Except soft metals such as aluminum |
