FAQ's

What precision cleaning solvent works best for fiber optic connectors?

In the Chemtronics product line, Electro-Wash PX (available as a bulk liquid and aerosol) and Fiber-Wash MX (available as an aerosol, pen, or presaturated wipes) are the best options. Fiber-Wash AQ pen is available for a water-based clean, which has low VOC, GWP (global warming potential), and is nonflammable. Fiber-Wash NF contains a nonflammable solvent that quickly evaporates.

Will isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes remove oleophobic coating?

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes can potentially remove or damage oleophobic coatings. Oleophobic coatings are designed to repel oils and other hydrophobic substances, such as fingerprints, from the surface of a device or screen. These coatings are commonly found on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. IPA is a powerful solvent and can break down or dissolve certain materials, including some types of oleophobic coatings. If you use IPA wipes on a device with an oleophobic coating, it may compromise or completely remove the coating, leading to a loss of its fingerprint-repelling properties. Manufacturers typically advise against using alcohol-based cleaning solutions, including IPA, on devices with oleophobic coatings. Instead, they recommend using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a cleaning solution specifically designed for electronics with oleophobic coatings. You should always check the device's user manual or the manufacturer's recommendations for proper cleaning procedures to avoid any potential damage.

Can you use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes as screen wipes?

Using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes on screens can be risky, and it's generally not recommended for most electronic devices, particularly those with sensitive displays, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and LCD/LED screens. The alcohol content in isopropyl alcohol wipes can potentially damage the protective coatings and the screen itself, leading to discoloration, streaks, or other issues.

How do I figure out the shelf life of a product?

The shelf life of a product can be found on either the technical data sheet (TDS), available on the product page, or by looking on the certificate on conformance (COC). The COC can be downloaded by going to https://www.chemtronics.com/coc. Once you have the shelf life, you will need to add it to the manufacture date for a use-by date. The manufacture date can be identified by the batch number. The batch code used on most of our products are manufacture dates in the Julian Date format. The format is YYDDD, where YY = year, DDD = day. For example, 19200 translates to the 200th day of 2019, or July 19, 2019. This webpage explains and provides charts to help interpret our batch numbers: https://www.chemtronics.com/batch-codes.
