MS-750 (Aerosol) and MS-752 (Bulk) MCA | Precision Cleaning Agent
Engineered Specialty Fluid- High Solvency, Non-flammable, Optimized for Critical Cleaning Processes
MS-750 and MS-752 Vertrel™ MCA Cleaning Agent contains Vertrel™ XF with trans-1, 2-dichloroethylene. This product is used for precision and specialty applications in many industries such as Electronics, Military, Aerospace, and communications. It replaces HCFC 225 in many applications. It is ideally suited for removing mineral oil, vacuum oil, wax, heavy grease, cutting oil, stamping oil, hydraulic oil, and gear oil. Vertrel™ MCA is listed by the Compressed Gas Association Inc. in the Directory of Cleaning Agents for Oxygen Service.
Advantages of MS-750 Aerosol and MS-752 Bulk MCA
- Evaporates quickly
- Leaves no residue
- Nonflammable
- Compatible with most plastics, elastomers, and metals
- Non ozone-depleting
- RoHS2 & RoHS3 compliant
MS-752 (bulk):
For optimum cleaning effectiveness, a vapor degreaser is suggested. Modern vapor containment technology is recommended for both batch and in-line equipment. These systems have higher freeboard and a secondary set of low-temperature –20°F (-29°C) condenser coils to greatly reduce vapor loss.

1Swelling, but with low extractables. Elastomer swelling and shrinking will, in most cases, revert to within a few percent of original size after trying. Swell, shrinkage, and extractables are strongly affected by the compounding agents, plasticizers, and curing used in the manufacture of the elastomers. Test for compatibility before use. |
Metals and Other Compatibility
Vertrel MCA was found compatible with aluminum, copper, and iron, with and without oil present, after exposure for 2 weeks at 120°C (248°F) in sealed tubes.
Contact with highly basic process materials, pH 10 or above, is not recommended
