Tri-V solvent series replaces toxic cleaning chemicals such as n-propyl bromide (nPB) and trichloroethylene (TCE). Are nonflammable, and can be used on energized equipment, penetrate to clean hard to reach areas, evaporate quickly and reportedly leave no residues. Come in aerosol and bulk packaging for benchtop cleaning, immersion cleaning, or vapor degreasers. Are stabilized and safe for metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and brass.

Electro-Wash Tri-V precision cleaner is nonflammable cleaner and removes flux, grease, oils, dirt, dust and other contaminants from electronic components and assemblies. Max-Kleen Tri-V removes soils including oxidized oil and grease from motors and relays. Flux-Off Tri-V flux remover is an extra-strength nonflammable solvent that removes heavy encrusted flux deposits common after circuit board assembly. Works on R, RA, RMA and synthetic fluxes.

VPX-2KS is dual component cavity metering spray valve capable of spraying 2,000 chemistries. Servo controlled rotor that seals a rubberized stator produces a continuous flow for each component. Tight tolerance on sealing mechanism reportedly ensures pulse-free and drip-free operation of valve, even with low viscosity fluids. Doesn’t require routine flushing or purging; each component is metered in a separate chamber. A and B components are introduced via a disposable static mixer in the air cap to produce a fine conical shaped pattern. Valve accuracy is +/-2%, dependent on material with a viscosity range of 1 - 100,000cps.
