INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING AND ELECTRONICS MAINTENANCE

Today’s manufacturing industries demands high performance industrial lubricants, greases, oils, degreasers and cleaners to ensure their equipment operates efficiently and smoothly.

With the recent global economic strain, people and companies are looking for ways to keep more cash in their pockets. The broad opinion seems to be that it is better to take care what you already have than to pay for replacement. Asalco’s expansive line of products is dedicated to maintaining and cleaning industrial, electronic and mechanical equipment and its components to keep them running like new.

Industrial lubricants limit wear and tear of materials while reducing binding and friction. They can prevent corrosion, lessen electrical resistivity while increasing thermal conduction where applied. Most are suitable for use in extreme temperatures and conditions.

Asalco’s lubricants, oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, and silicone demoulders are only one category in Asalco product groups. Within this category of lubricants many are available in formulations that may come from semi-synthetic, synthetic or natural substances.

Some of Asalco’s better known industrial products are LP-2000, JY-8, Smooth Slip, and Multi-5 to name a few. Many are Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved as safe for use in food processing plants.

Mould releasers and mould agents are also sub-category of these lubricants. Asalco Mould & Die Saver, Mould Cleaner, Kwik Release, EP-Lube, and TFE spray are commonly used in the plastics and moulding industries.

Asalco also carries biodegradable hydraulic oils and greases for use in heavy equipment employed in environmentally sensitive areas, such as in construction, mining and forestry sectors. These new products are becoming more and more in demand as environmental interest groups are lobbying for ‘greener’ practices in global construction projects and manufacturing.

Most modern industrial manufacturing equipment is automated; or computer-driven, and therefore it is equally important that these electronics and their components be cleaned regularly and maintained. Asalco offers a complete line electronics maintainance products, such as contact cleaners, IPA isopropyl alcohol, silicone conformal coatings, dusters, electronic degreasers, flux cleaners, heat sink compounds, desoldering braid, and many other specialty products. Asalco is the Canadian Master Distributor for Caig Laboratories DeoxIt® electronics maintenance products.

Companies are concentrating more time and effort on reducing repair costs and eliminating production downtime through more comprehensive equipment maintenance practices. For many industries, escalating production costs can be the difference between staying soluble and being competitive in the consumer market.

Food-Safe Cleaner

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:46:34 +0000

The refrigerator is one of the most neglected areas of the home. Spoiled food, spills, and uncooked meats create a breeding ground for dangerous and potentially harmful bacteria. While most conscientious homeowners clean their countertops, stoves, and sinks regularly, their refrigerators are often left dirty and grimy for months to years. Considering food’s delicate nature and the very real risk of contamination, it is astounding that people fail to see the necessity of scrubbing down their refrigerators with food-safe cleaners.

Cleaning a refrigerator is slightly more complex than simply spraying shelves with a standard all purpose cleaner. While bacteria and germs may contaminate food and lead to food poisoning, harsh cleaners can also render food extremely dangerous and inedible. Notoriously harsh stove-top cleaner will trigger automatic and severe food poisoning

What is food-safe cleaner?

A food-safe cleaner is a cleaning agent that effectively sanitizes and cleans surfaces without leaving behind any harmful residue. Although it is widely believed that food-safe cleaners are less effective than their more harsh counterparts, in fact, food-safe cleaners are incredibly powerful and efficiently eliminate dangerous bacteria, yeast, and fungi without harming homeowners or the environment. People who purchase food-safe cleaners can rest easy knowing their refrigerators are free of Salmonella, E-Coli, Apergillus Niger, and Candida; all common food contaminants that lead to serious health problems.

LCD Cleaner

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:20:16 +0000

Computers are a staple in all modern schools and homes. While people young and old are able to deftly navigate the Internet and popular programs, applications, and games, few desktop or laptop owners know how to properly care for their computer parts. As one of the most touched and handled household item, computers accumulate a fair amount of wear and tear. It is essential that all computer owners purchase specialized keyboard and LCD cleaners to rid surfaces of germs, particles, and dust to keep their desktops and laptops in pristine condition.

The computer’s LCD screen is one of its most delicate and precious components. People tend to mistake their monitor screens for glass, but in fact, an LCD is a complex layer of fragile liquid crystals, circuits, and other materials. While considerably thinner and lighter and requiring less power than older display technologies, LCD screens are magnets for dust, fingerprint smudges, and damage and necessitate LCD cleaners. Unfortunately, LCD screens’ high susceptibility to dust and damage combined with owners general laziness and lack of proper LCD cleaners, renders this computer part especially dirty.

Why can’t you just use Windex and a paper towel? Unlike their older glass counterparts, modern screens require soft clothes and a specialized LCD cleaner. More sensitive than traditional glass screens, new monitors are prone to suffering permanent damage due to improper LCD cleaners and cleaning materials. Although few people consider paper towels hard or harsh, these everyday absorbent cloths can actually scratch or etch LCD screens. Similarly, harsh chemicals may cause permanent cloudiness or leave streaks, making it especially important that all conscientious laptop and desktop owners purchase professional grade LCD cleaners. To avoid unsightly and costly damages to their screens, everyone must regularly clean their LCD with gentle but effective LCD cleaners.

What is the best LCD cleaner for you? Asalco Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high quality electronic maintenance products. Their professional grade LCD and Plasma Cleaner is safe on both glossy and non-glare coatings and dries streak free. Ideal for both computer screens and televisions, this LCD cleaner is a must-have staple for all modern homes.

So, what next? After purchasing an LCD cleaner from Asalco Inc, computer owners should turn off their screen and unplug their computer screen and/or computer from its power source. After carefully examining the screen for dirt, dust, and fingerprint smudges, they can use a soft microfiber cloth to safely remove dust without scratching the monitor. It is important that computer owners never spray their LCD cleaner straight onto the screen. Alternatively, they should spray the LCD cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth and softly wipe the screen in a circular motion. If using Asalco Inc.’s LCD cleaner and the appropriate soft cloth, owners should now have a clean and streak free screen.

Asalco Inc. is the first place people should turn to for high quality and safe LCD cleaners. To find out more about their LCD cleaners and other computer maintenance products, visit www.asalco.com.
