CARB VOC Compliant Cleaner Do you have replacement for the 99.953% pure anhydrous Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) that complies with California Air Resource Board (CARB) VOC limit A quick recap on key points of the California VOC Limit: Isopropyl Alcohol 1.

In some cases, formulas or packaging can be updated to comply in other cases users will have to switch to aerosol. 5. The regulation only applies to products produced after January 1, Cat. No. 824-450G 2007. Products produced before that may be sold up to Dec 31 2009, providing they have a valid batch code indicating the date (which should be in the format of YYDDD, where the first two digits indicate the year in which the product was produced, and the last three indicate the day of that year on which the product was produced). Pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is 100% a VOC. This means that pure IPA packaged after January 1, 2007 will not comply with CARB VOC limits. Not being able to use pure IPA is a great concern for many in the electronics industry. IPA is a cost effective, plastic safe electronics cleaner. Cleaning electronics with IPA diluted with water can lead to corrosion, and IPA diluted with acetone can attack plastic components, therefore, many electronics warrantees are void when using anything other then pure IPA in servicing. Also, IPA diluted with water cannot be used for cleaning fiber optics. In order to allow customers to continue to service electronics and fiber optics without voiding warrantees, MG Chemicals has introduced 99.9% pure IPA in aerosol form (cat. no. 824-450G)., which is compliant with CARB VOC rules. The aerosol propellant evapo- rates instantly on application, allowing the user to apply 99.9% pure IPA directly onto their application. To clean fiber optics, simply spray the IPA onto a lint free cloth, and then wipe. Users with applications where water is acceptable may use our 70/30 IPA / Water blend (cat. no. 8241-20L).
