Chemtronics Application Guide - Buffer Gel Removal and Tool Cleaning

Buffer Gel Removal

Removing buffer gel with an orange cleaner and then rinsing with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a thing of the past. The one-step solution, Electro-Wash® MX Cleaner, is now available in two easy to use versions: 1) a presaturated container of 100 rugged lint-free wipers, and, 2) a 10 oz aerosol.

As a tool and work surface cleaner, there is nothing more effective than the solvent in the Electro-Wash® MX Tub. Each rugged lint-free wiper spools from the center of the wiper tub and may be reused by adding solvent from the ES1621 Electro-Wash® MX Aerosol. The Electro-Wash® MX will clean away oils, dusty soils, and leave tools like new. If the presaturated wipe is too moist for a particular application, simply allow the wiper to air dry for a few seconds prior to use. If the presaturated wipes are too dry for a particular series of applications, simply add solvent by spraying ES1621 into the container for a few seconds.

How to remove Buffer Gel The Electro-Wash® MX Tubs (TO21) are self-contained package. Open the top and cut the protective film. The wipers spool from the center of the “log”. Thread the wipers through the top of the spring loaded moisture-guard door. Remove excess buffer gel with a T021 wipe, or use a Coventry 6704 Lint Free Wipe Pull one wipe from the container and wipe over the buffer gel Fold the wiper in half and repeat the pass over the same area. At this point the cable will “squeak clean”. Repeat as may be necessary for high density gels
