Upgraded fibre optic cleaning fluid cuts cost
MicroCare’s Sticklers fibre optic slice & connector precision cleaning fluid has been improved. It is now dispensed more efficiently and enables users to get over 650 cleanings from a standard 85ml (3oz) can, an increase of more than 62% with no increase in the product’s price.
The improvement in the dispensing system maintains the advantages of the patented three-way Triton actuator but uses an improved ‘metered dose’ valve to deliver the cleaning fluid. This new design more efficiently dispenses precise quantities of cleaning fluid to reduce waste while improving functionality. This improvement increases the number of cleanings in a canister and reduces the cost-per-cleaning.
The Sticklers cleaner is a fast-evaporating, static-dissipating cleaning fluid engineered specifically for cleaning before fusion splicing and for cleaning fibre optic connector end-faces. Unlike isopropyl alcohol which attracts water out of the atmosphere and can be easily contaminated, the Sticklers cleaning fluid is hermetically-sealed in the canister so it remains factory-pure and always delivers powerful, consistent cleaning. The Sticklers cleaning fluid also is nonflammable and not hazardous, making it easy to ship by air with no restrictions. The new package already is included in all versions of the Sticklers field installer cleaning kits.
