Precision Cleaning
optics

Cleaning precision optical parts requires complete removal of contaminants such as waxes, oils, greases and other production contaminants from optical parts. Vapor degreasing is a powerful and effective way to remove production materials in the creation of lenses, space optics, laser optics, avionic display, many complex optical parts that must be critically clean.

Reliance manufactures comprehensive optical parts cleaning solutions that include AeroTron™-AV our high-performance vapor degreasing solvent (that replaces expensive solvents like Novec 71DE, 72DE, 72DA and 73DE, Vertrel, and Tergo) and NESHAP Compliant ULTRA™ vapor degreasing equipment with excellent solvent containment, ultrasonic immersion and automation.

Reliance is known throughout the industry for precision cleaning of optical components. We are the only company that manufactures both vapor degreasing solvent and equipment to provide you a complete package for optical part cleaning. Contact us to discuss your cleaning needs.
