Q9. Why does the FG-HVG models cost more?
A9. While HVG comes with a higher upfront cost, its unique formulation makes it a valuable investment for industries where cleanliness and precision are paramount, such as cleanroom environments.
Ultra-High Vacuum Grease (HVG) is crafted from specialized formulations that include premium ingredients. The grease undergoes manufacturing under stringent process controls, ensuring superior quality that aligns with the demands of cleanroom environments.
Q10. Why might FG-HVG screwdriver be suitable for an application?
A10. While Ultra-High Vacuum Grease (HVG) comes with a higher cost and demands special cleaning materials, it becomes essential for customers particularly sensitive to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted by the grease. The Mountz HVG does not directly enhance the performance of the cleanroom tools, nor does it surpass other lubricants in cleanliness, except for VOC emissions. However, for specific demanding applications, such as certain optics and semiconductor processes, its usage is indispensable.
Q11. Does this grease comply with US-EPA PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) requirements?
A11. Currently, we do not offer a PFAS-free option cleanroom grease.
Q12. Why might a company opt against using Mountz FG-HVG screwdriver?
A12. This grease demands specific solvents for cleaning, potentially making the cleaning process more challenging compared to conventional lubricants. Customers should be aware that using Mountz UHV Grease might lead to reduced service intervals and calibration life compared to other lubricants.
Q13. How do FG cleanroom screwdrivers prevent grease leakage and contamination?
A13. FG cleanroom screwdrivers feature dynamic wear-resistant internal seals to effectively prevent grease leakage and the infiltration of contaminants into sensitive areas or components. All cleanroom screwdrivers are supplied with a polyurethane sleeve to provide extra protection.
Q14. Are there any maintenance tips for extending the life of the FG screwdriver?
A14. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your FG screwdriver. Avoid exposure to harsh environments and recalibrate as recommended.
Q15. Can FG screwdrivers be used in environments other than cleanrooms?
A15. Yes, while FG screwdrivers are designed for cleanroom use, they can also be used in other environments where precision and cleanliness are required.
Q16. What is the recommended cleaning procedure for FG cleanroom screwdrivers, and what substances can be used for cleaning?
A16. FG cleanroom screwdrivers are designed to withstand frequent wiping and are ideal for advanced cleansing regimens with water and alcohol-based solvents. However, please note that these tools are not designed to be submerged. Acetone and other strong solvents must be avoided as they can cause damage to the finish.
Q17. How do I know if my FG screwdriver needs recalibration?
A17. Signs that recalibration is needed include inconsistent torque application, the tool failing to click at the set torque, or after completing the recommended cycle limit. Regular checks with a torque analyzer can help determine if recalibration is necessary.
