New formula for Boley R (cleaning) and Boley S (rinsing)

Boley has fundamentally revised the formulation of its cleaning and rinsing solutuions for watch movements and adapted them to the current requirements of modern ELMA and Wellner cleaning machines. The new formulation offers superior cleaning performance, improved material compatibility and optimised drying properties.

Boley R – Watch cleaning
The cleaning fluid contains an increased proportion of selected active ingredients and additives, ensuring that even stubborn contaminants are reliably dissolved. Special protective components improve compatibility with sensitive materials. Boley R can be used as usual in the immersion process – with or without ultrasonic support.

Boley S – Watch Rinsing
The rinsing fluid removes anhydrous cleaning agents particularly efficiently and ensures even faster, residue-free drying, even in hard-to-reach spaces within unassembled movements.

Both products are classified as dangerous goods in accordance with ADR; however, in containers of up to 5 litres, they meet the requirements for simplified transport under the Limited Quantity (LQ) regulation.

Here is what our customers say about the new formulations (excerpts from testimonials):

“All components of the watch, including the balance wheel assembly, have been cleaned. Heavily soiled assemblies – such as the automatic movement assembly – could be cleaned almost completely at the start, which came as a very pleasant surprise to us. … Unlike with the previous solution, the liquids had barely evaporated after the same duration. Nevertheless, the cleaning basket was almost completely dry once the cleaning process was finished. … Overall, the cleaning performance is very positive. Both the cleaning and rinsing solutions impressed us, so we will be purchasing them again.”

“The residues and build-up, particularly on the spiral, caused by the ‘spilled’ old liquid, did require two cleaning cycles, but were then removed without leaving any residue. I am very satisfied with the cleaning results of the new solutions so far. In my opinion, the rinsing solutions fulfil their purpose very well. The … ‘wateriness’ that could sometimes occur with the ‘old’ solutions has not occurred so far.”

“I have always been very satisfied with the results of the new cleaning solutions. Upon re-inspection, I could not detect any significant residual contamination. Even the lifting surfaces of the anchor pallets were spotless. I also inspected the small cogs and spaces between the teeth under the microscope, to my complete satisfaction. … I was equally very satisfied with the rinsing solution. The parts arrived back to me with a metallic sheen. … In conclusion, I can say that the new cleaning agents you have developed have worked very well for me and I would recommend them in good conscience.”
