Cleaners


How does inadequate stencil and pcb cleaning impact your process?

Stencil / Misprint Cleaners

The range of stencil/misprint cleaners was developed specifically to replace IPA and other low-flash point, flammable materials in both manual and equipment applications where performance, safety and environmental properties are of primary concern. Some products are applied at ambient temperatures and dry quickly, with or without forced air. There are also products that are recommended for most non-aqueous and aqueous stencil cleaning equipment.
  • ALPHA® SM-440
  • ALPHA® SM-110
  • ALPHA® SM-110E

Board Cleaning

Unlike traditional organic and inorganic saponifiers, ALPHA aqueous defluxers are organic solvent-based products that are either water soluble or make stable emulsions in aqueous process equipment. The products differ from semi-aqueous defluxers in that they can be used in standard aqueous equipment, both metal and plastic.
  • ALPHA® SM-110
  • ALPHA® SM-110E
  • ALPHA® 2110
  • ALPHA® BC-2200
  • Armakleen E2001P
  • Armakleen 2003

Manual Cleaning Range

In addition to replacing CFCs in pro?duction defluxing, Cookson Electronics also offers alternative products for manual benchtop defluxing after touch-up and rework. These products are applied at room temperature, rinsed with fresh product, and dried with ambient or forced air. The fluids are more aggressive than CFCs and IPA and remove even the more difficult residues.
  • ALPHA® SM-110
  • ALPHA® SM-110E
ALPHA® SM-110 Cold/Manual Cleaner (liquid and pre-saturated wipes)
  • Dissolves no-clean, water soluble and rosin flux residues
  • Fast evaporation, higher flash point; excellent solvency properties outperform IPA
  • Excellent compatibility with stencil and PWB materials; approved for use in printer underwipe systems
ALPHA® SM-110 E
  • Specially formulated for use in non-aqueous stencil cleaning equipment
  • Removes most types of solder paste and epoxy products, such as SMD adhesives
ALPHA® 2110 Aqueous Rosin Cleaner
  • Cleaning concentrate designed for efficient removal of rosin flux residues from PCBs using aqueous saponification processing
  • Excellent cleaning of PCBs in conveyorized, in-line aqueous machines, even to ionic cleanliness standards in MIL-P-28809
ALPHA® BC-2200
  • Aqueous defluxer: VOC-free, high-performance alkaline cleaner with exceptional wetting properties and detergency; ideal for use with lead-free flux formulations
  • Well-suited for in-line or batch spray-in-air cleaning; can be used in ultrasonic equipment
  • Removes reflowed rosin, no-clean and water-soluble fluxes from PCBs
ARMAKLEEN® 2003
  • Environmentally sensible, inorganic-based aqueous cleaner designed for in-line or batch equipment for cleaning PCBs
  • Low surface tension allows for penetration of low stand-off heights
