This optical-grade solvent is double-filtered for purity, so cleaning is more consistent and reliable. It delivers excellent results removing light oils, salts, moisture, fingerprints, dust, lint, fibres, grime, polishing media and uncured epoxies. This versatile cleaner is safe on glass, metal, cured epoxies, and insulators; it is generally safe on plastics except plastic optical fibres (see Fibre Optic High Performance Cleaving Tool under “Related Products”).
The Fibre Prep Fluid out-cleans IPA because it is a stronger solvent and it dries faster. The dense solvent “floats” particulate off surfaces and dissipates static bonds. This makes it perfect for “Wet/Dry” cleaning of connector endfaces. When terminating or fusion splicing, it cleans both single-strand and ribbon fibre and “squeaks” when the fibre is clean.
The hermetically-sealed container uses the unique Triton™ 3-way dispensing system, the most versatile packaging system in the industry. The spill-proof, sealed canister also prevents refilling and cross-contamination, ensuring clean solvent every time. The canister also is “TravelSAFE™” that is, the pump spray is “nonhazardous, nonregulated” so it can be shipped, even by air, without extra paperwork or hazmat fees. With over 400 fast and reliable cleanings per canister, Fibre Prep Fluid reduces installation cleaning costs to only pennies.
