The cleaning efficiency of five alternative cleaning agents have been evaluated as possible replacements chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and chlorohydrocarbon (CHC) solvents used in the manufacture of certain electronic components. These cleaning agents were evaluated in the first phase (Phase I) of a two-phase program to remove various simulated manufacturing contaminants such as oils, greases, mold release, and body oils. Results showed that a decyl acetate (EXXATE 1000) and a terpene (BIOACT EC-7) were both able to effectively remove these contaminants form copper board substrates.
