Precision Clean
We can clean to your requirements or have one of our experienced chemical engineers develop an all-new process for any cleaning challenge you may have. This generally involves the testing and evaluation of several surface treatment chemistries and occasionally a special tool or a piece of equipment. Our ultimate goal is to maximize efficiencies and lower the overall cost of part ownership.
Chemical Clean
Controlled baths are created according to your basic specifications using quality products to perform alkaline and base solvent, thermal /non-thermal detergent, electro, dry ice blasting and acid etch cleaning methodologies. Great care is taken to preserve the substrate base during the chemical deposition removal process. So much so, that for unique materials or difficult to clean parts, we can provide technical expertise in the development of an alternate cleaning process.
Ultrasonic Clean
Ultrasound is a non-abrasive mechanical means to clean parts. Using radiating sound waves in a process called Cavitation, contaminates are released from the part’s surface. Our automated ultrasonic tank system is designed to handle small to medium size parts as well as high volume orders.
Mechanical Clean
We use abrasive mechanical cleaning to supplement our chemical based cleaning processes. Corrosive medians like aluminum oxide are used to remove heavy surface deposition. Our bead blast cabinets can accommodate small to medium size parts and our 392 cubic foot walk in booth can handle very large shields and components.
To remove small particulates and hydrocarbons we have a less abrasive median like solid carbon dioxide also known as dry ice. Fine ice pellets are propelled at an extremely high speed to blast away surface contaminants and leave no chemical residue.
Final Clean
Within our climate and contamination controlled Class 100 cleanroom environment, parts receive a final DI water rinse and a post bake in a conventional, vacuum dry or high temperature kiln oven to remove all moisture. Inspected parts are vacuum sealed in a Class 100 poly bag with or without a purified nitrogen purge or assorted wrappings. Certificates of Conformance are available for those parts that receive an accepted industry standard cleaning.
