Specialty Fiber Optics Cleaning Products
Specialty Products: Advantages and Disadvantages.

There are many specialty products available for fiber optics cleaning. Specialty
would mean any product that is out of the norm of a standard wipe, alcohol, or air
cleaner. Reel and card fabric cleaners are convenient. Highly evaporative
solvents have been developed to clean and dry without residue. What are the
product specifications? And do you need them? Some products carry no
specifications with them and may add to the contamination. Some products add
greatly to the cost of cleaning with little or no improvement in results. Specialty
fabric cleaners must meet the same standards of purity as clean wipes.
Specialty solvents must meet the same standards of purity as isopropyl alcohol
and clean air dusters. Ask: Do you know the product specifications and
limitations? Is there a measured advantage to using the product?
Remember: no specs means questionable cleaning.
