MicroCare engineered fluids offer high-performance solution for precision parts cleaning!

MicroCare has introduced its range of Engineered Fluids and Tergo Performance Fluids as a versatile and reliable solution for metalworking and precision parts cleaning. Developed to address the discontinuation of Novec Specialty Fluids in 2025, these fluids provide manufacturers with an effective drop-in alternative without requiring changes to existing processes or equipment.

Designed for high-reliability vapor degreasing applications, MicroCare’s fluids deliver strong cleaning performance while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of materials. The Tergo Performance Fluids are engineered to match the capabilities of previously used Novec variants such as 7100, 7200 and related formulations, ensuring continuity for manufacturers that depend on consistent cleaning outcomes.

One of the key advantages of these fluids lies in their physical properties. With high density and low surface tension, they can penetrate deep into complex geometries, including blind holes, intricate features and tight-tolerance assemblies. This makes them particularly suitable for cleaning precision machined components, small intricate parts and assemblies that require a high level of cleanliness prior to coating, plating or further processing.

The ability to use these fluids in existing vapor degreasing systems without requalification is a significant benefit for manufacturers. This ensures a seamless transition from legacy fluids, minimizing downtime and avoiding costly process validation. Shops can continue operations without disruption while maintaining or even improving cleaning performance.

MicroCare’s solutions are capable of effectively removing a wide range of contaminants commonly found in machining environments. These include machining oils, cutting fluids, greases and fine particulate matter that can affect part quality and downstream processes. By delivering consistent and thorough cleaning, the fluids help manufacturers meet stringent quality standards and reduce the risk of defects.

According to Ray Bellavance, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at MicroCare, consistency is critical in machining and metalworking operations. As legacy fluids are phased out, the company’s engineered solutions are positioned as a dependable alternative that ensures production continuity while meeting required cleanliness specifications.

In modern manufacturing, where precision and surface integrity are essential, effective cleaning plays a crucial role in overall product quality. Components used in industries such as aerospace, medical devices, electronics and automotive often require contamination-free surfaces to ensure proper performance and durability.

MicroCare’s engineered fluids address these requirements by combining cleaning efficiency, ease of integration and process reliability. By offering a drop-in replacement for discontinued products along with enhanced cleaning capabilities, the company supports manufacturers in maintaining productivity while adapting to changing industry standards and material requirements.
