From the fast but flammable Type FD to the slower evaporating Type HP . While this is a subjective judgment, we feel cleaners in the .001 evaporation rate range are simply not practical. They are more like oils than solvents. Solvents in the .01 range can be used successfully with proper field procedures. A 0.02 evaporation rate cleaner, such as Type HP , works fine if it is not puddled or used in excess.
All wipes are non-linting of course.
A residue could provide a path for tracking or potentially interfere with the electrical function of the part. These surfactants are left as residues, and cleaners containing non-volatile surfactants should not be used for electrical cleaning. Evaporation properties in the field not only depend on the cleaner, but also the ambient temperature and cleaning procedure. Type TR is the closest match to trichlor's characteristics, but is only available in wipe form. NF is also a good match, but is pricey in bulk.
