FAQ's

What precision cleaning solvent works best for fiber optic connectors?

In the Chemtronics product line, Electro-Wash PX (available as a bulk liquid and aerosol) and Fiber-Wash MX (available as an aerosol, pen, or presaturated wipes) are the best options. Fiber-Wash AQ pen is available for a water-based clean, which has low VOC, GWP (global warming potential), and is nonflammable. Fiber-Wash NF contains a nonflammable solvent that quickly evaporates.

How do I figure out the shelf life of a product?

The shelf life of a product can be found on either the technical data sheet (TDS), available on the product page, or by looking on the certificate on conformance (COC). The COC can be downloaded by going to https://www.chemtronics.com/coc. Once you have the shelf life, you will need to add it to the manufacture date for a use-by date. The manufacture date can be identified by the batch number. The batch code used on most of our products are manufacture dates in the Julian Date format. The format is YYDDD, where YY = year, DDD = day. For example, 19200 translates to the 200th day of 2019, or July 19, 2019. This webpage explains and provides charts to help interpret our batch numbers: https://www.chemtronics.com/batch-codes.
