MS-255/257 Surface PrepClean™ wax & grease remover is a strong hydrocarbon solvent cleaning agent designed to clean surfaces prior to applying fluorinated lubricants like Krytox. New, unlubricated components and bearings are typically coated with hydrocarbon-based rust preventative oils to prevent corrosion during storage. Prior to lubricating components and bearings with fluorinated lubricants, it is important to remove these preservatives, because standard rust preventative materials will lower adhesion and reduce the effectiveness of fluorinated oils and greases.
MS-255/257 Surface PrepClean™ wax & grease remover can also be used to clean surfaces like PCBs, prior to applying Conformal Coating like our Silicone MS-460H/MS-462H, Acrylic MS-465C/MS-467C, MS-475C/MS-477C, and Urethane MS-470C/MS-472C. Also great for cleaning surfaces prior to applying adhesives. Is effective in removing difficult soils like heavy oils, grease, wax, and other contaminants. It is an excellent replacement for nPB, HCFC-225, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in many applications. MS-257 can be used in vapor degreasing equipment.
