Wax and Grease Remover | MS-255/257 Surface PrepClean™
Specifically Formulated Hydrocarbon Solvent, Low Surface Tension For Better Cleaning
MS-255/257 Surface PrepClean™ Wax and Grease Remover is a strong hydrocarbon solvent cleaning agent designed to clean surfaces prior to applying fluorinated lubricants like Krytox. New, unlubricated components and bearings are typically coated with hydrocarbon-based rust preventative oils to prevent corrosion during storage. Prior to lubricating components and bearings with fluorinated lubricants, it is important to remove these preservatives, because standard rust preventative materials will lower adhesion and reduce the effectiveness of fluorinated oils and greases.
MS-255/257 Surface PrepClean™ Wax and Grease Remover can also be used to clean surfaces like PCBs, prior to applying Conformal Coating like our Silicone MS-460H/MS-462H, Acrylic MS-465C/MS-467C, MS-475C/MS-477C, and Urethane MS-470C/MS-472C. Also great for cleaning surfaces prior to applying adhesives.
Ideally suited as a wax and grease remover, MS255/257 is also effective in removing difficult soils like heavy oils,and other contaminants. It is an excellent replacement for nPB, HCFC-225, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in many applications. MS-257 can be used in vapor degreasing equipment.

Why Choose Miller-Stephenson Solvents?
Not all industrial cleaners have kept pace with the increasing demands for purity and regulatory restrictions in high technology industries. Miller-Stephenson’s MS-255/257 Wax and Grease Remover utilizes the most advanced, safest, and eco-friendly chemistry currently available. As electronic systems have become smaller and more complex, chemical purity has become even more critical. Today’s electronic components run hotter, are smaller and more complex than ever before. This creates situations where dendritic expansion or corrosion can proliferate if the cleaning is not perfect. Miller-Stephenson offers ultra-high-purity, non-flammable, and high cleaning efficiency solvents for a variety of industries and specifications. We offer VOC exempt and low or no GWP based solvent systems to meet all current and future regulatory specifications. From Electronic, Aerospace, and Military to Vapor Degreasing applications, Miller-Stephenson has the right solution for your specific application and requirements.
