FEATURES:
60ml Kit (2 fluid ounces):
30ml ArctiClean 1 and 30ml ArctiClean 2
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 hazardsous 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.
