Unique 2-Step
Process
ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover quickly emulsifies and dissolves
the existing thermal grease or pad from the CPU and/or heatsink so that
it can easily be removed with a clean cloth or paper towel. A few drops
of ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier and some gentle wiping then
removes the remaining residue and inhibits flash corrosion on copper or
aluminum.
ArctiClean 1
Thermal Material Remover
ArctiClean 1 uses a proprietary combination of non-toxic biodegradable
solvents to emulsify thermal greases or thermal pads. The citrus and soy
based solvents in ArctiClean 1 match or exceed many hazardous and
volatile solvents such as fluorinated and chlorinated organic solvents,
acetone, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol,
and toluene.
ArctiClean 2
Thermal Surface Purifier
The cationic surfactants in ArctiClean 2 remove any residue left by the
ArctiClean 1 leaving a pristine surface for the application of a new
thermal interface material. It also incorporates advanced flash
corrosion inhibitors that minimize the corrosion layer on copper and
aluminum allowing for more intimate contact between the thermal
interface material and the heatsink.
Using
ArctiClean 2 With Other Solvents
Most solvents and cleaning products leave residue
on the CPU and heatsink that negatively affects the performance of any
subsequently applied thermal interface material. ArctiClean 1 Thermal
Surface Purifier removes the residue of citrus or petroleum based
cleaners and inhibits flash corrosion on a copper or aluminum heatsink.
Why
Not Just Use Isopropyl Alcohol or Acetone?
Put isopropyl alcohol or acetone on a thermal pad
and 10 minutes later you will have...
A thermal pad.
Only with a lot of rubbing and scrubbing will you be able
to remove the pad. While the alcohol or acetone may soften the pad,
neither actually dissolves the pad.
Although less visible, it is the same cleaning thermal
greases with alcohol or acetone.
ArctiClean 1 totally emulsifies thermal pads and thermal
greases. The waxes, oils, and fillers of the thermal material are
suspended within the ArctiClean 1 so they can be cleaned off completely.
This emulsification allow ArctiClean to remove the thermal material in
the microscopic imperfections in the heatsink or heat spreader that
non-emulsifying cleaners cannot touch.
The flash corrosion inhibitors in ArctiClean 2 then
significantly reduce the corrosion layer on the copper or aluminum,
improving the interface between the metal and the new thermal material
and maximizing thermal transfer.
