TOPKLEAN MC 20A
Is a legacy product used for over 15 years by many actors in precision parts manufacturing to remove hydrocarbon oil & grease. At INVENTEC we constantly challenge ourselves to make a great product even better. Today we recommend TOPKLEAN MC 20B, which is a minor evolution to improve sustainability.
It is used in co-solvent process to offer a fast & sustainable cleaning process with very high cleaning efficiency. In this process, TOPKLEAN MC 20A is rinsed perfectly with solvents from our PROMOSOLV range.
The co-solvent process has been a game changer for over 15 years now. It has been developed to replace solvents with a high HSE impact with a more sustainable solution and with equally strong cleaning performance. It particularly stands out when addressing parts with very tight or difficult to reach spaces. In contrast, a water-based cleaning system carries the risk that the cleaning chemistry may not be adequately removed due to the significantly higher surface tension of water.
