Cleaning Fluid MICROCHIP IPA for Plastics 400 ml (MPN 5036)

MICROCHIP IPA cleaning fluid for plastics is a 400 ml solvent based on isopropyl alcohol formulated for removing oils, flux residues, grease and light contaminants from plastic surfaces used in electronics and precision equipment. Supplied in a 400 ml container, the fluid is designed for maintenance, pre-assembly cleaning and component preparation where safe removal of residues from electronic housings, connectors and plastic parts is required.

Advantages

The cleaning fluid evaporates quickly and leaves minimal residue, reducing downtime and the need for additional wiping. Its IPA-based formula is compatible with many plastic types commonly found in electronic housings and connectors when used as directed. The product offers effective decontamination of oils, flux traces and light greases without aggressive solvents that could damage sensitive components when correctly applied.

Suitable for

• Cleaning plastic electronic housings and covers
• Removing flux residues from plastic parts after soldering
• Preparing connectors and contact surfaces before assembly
• Maintenance cleaning in electronics and precision workshops

Key specifications

• Volume: 400 ml container
• Base solvent: isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
• Intended substrates: plastics used in electronic housings and connectors
• Cleaning action: removes oils, flux residues, grease and light contaminants
• Evaporation: fast-drying, low-residue formulation

How to use

Apply the MICROCHIP IPA cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned or to a lint-free cloth, then wipe the plastic part until contaminants are removed. For connectors and small parts, use a controlled spray or dispense onto a swab to avoid excess liquid. Allow treated surfaces to air-dry completely before reassembly or powering equipment. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow safety instructions on the container.

Usage recommendations

Test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area of the plastic before full application. Avoid prolonged exposure to painted or sensitive plastics and keep away from heat sources and open flames. Use suitable personal protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation during use.
