As stringent global regulations on PFAS substances loom, the demand for environmentally sustainable alternatives has never been more pronounced. Recognizing this, MicroCare has taken an initiative-taking stance by formulating products that are PFAS exempt or non-PFAS, aligning with the electronics industry's increasing emphasis on eco-friendly solutions.

With an unwavering commitment to staying ahead of regulatory developments, MicroCare actively watches the global landscape for PFAS regulation changes and requirements. The company is dedicated to ongoing research and exploring new ingredients in the market to formulate PCB cleaning and coating fluids that not only adhere to the strictest environmental standards but also deliver best performance.

In response to industry shifts and discontinuations due to PFAS regulations, MicroCare has introduced the Tergo™ XCF1 Cleaning Agent and Tergo™ XCF2 Specialty Cleaning Fluid for vapor degreasing. These innovative products not only address the emerging PFAS concerns but also serve as excellent alternatives to industry-discontinued fluids, such as Novec 71DE, 72DE, and 73DE.

MicroCare's commitment to innovation ensures that customers can expect the safest, most environmentally friendly, and effective solutions for their critical cleaning needs in 2024 and beyond.
