Cleaning sliders, HGA, HSA

August 14th, 2009, 8:23

I while back I wrote something about gentle CO2 cleaning, as well as use of various engineered fluids and solvents. I got numerous responses and inquiries and though some have used the engineered fluids, most seem to use plain IPA and DI . As one who studied Chemical Engineering, I tend to prefer the best in Chemical solvents, so I use only solvent specifically made for cleaning platters and HSA. I would like to know what other DR companies use (brand/size) for cleaning. I am currently using Foamtek's Ultrasolve 1900 series and can recommend them, and have not tried any other brands. PM me if your company cares to to swap info on products and sources
