EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF STUBBORN ADHESIVES

Since it was first launched back in the 1990s, the TidyPen has become one of the most popular products within the Microcare portfolio and is considered a 'must have' time-saver for electronics manufacturers, repair shops, medical facilities and more.

Motivated by the product's popularity, Microcare wanted to improve the product so a new version retains the best features of the original design while adding new capabilities to achieve perfect cleaning easier and faster than ever before. The cleaning fluid used within the pen has been reformulated, with the new chemistry now safer to use on glass, ceramics, white metals and rubber. The new TidyPen is also safe to use on plastics and gaskets as well as other construction materials used on PCBs. The new formulation is also more environmentally friendly, having reduced its organic (VOC) content, as well as being REACH compliant – a feature that will be welcomed by the tightly regulated European market. And the new model dispenses the cleaning fluid more quickly – speeding up cleaning and boosting operator productivity. It is claimed that the TidyPen remains an excellent remover of silicone coatings and provides effective cleaning of almost anything sticky - from tapes, labels and glues, to fluxes, inks and conformal coatings. It is now available from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe.
