ArctiClean is a 2-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of thermal interface material. The ArctiClean 1 thermal material remover quickly emulsifies and dissolves thermal grease or pads from CPU or heat-sink surfaces. A few drops of ArctiClean 2 thermal surface purifier and some gentle wiping then removes the remaining residue and inhibits flash corrosion on copper or aluminum.
