Intertronics unveils specialist “green cleaners
Article Type: New products From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 22, Issue 4
Leading supplier to the electronics industry Intertronics, is now focused on two new environmentally friendly Techspray Renew™ precision cleaners,designed specifically for electronics manufacturing applications: Eco-Stencil™Cleaner and Eco-Oven™ Cleaner. Both are effective, safe and eco-friendly,with non-flammable, biodegradable, low VOC, zero GWP, and non-ozone depleting characteristics.
Eco-Stencil cleaner effectively removes all types of solder paste and uncured adhesive from screens, misprinted boards and equipment. It is completely safe on stencils, squeegees and equipment surfaces. Eco-Stencil cleaner is an ideal replacement for isopropyl alcohol (IPA), which is often restricted because of safety and environmental restrictions on VOC emissions or waste disposal issues. Eco-Stencil cleaner is designed for manual stencil tool, work surface and squeegee cleaning, and for automatic underside wipe stencil cleaning. It removes solder pastes and is great for cleaning off uncured adhesives. It is not designed for use in automatic stencil washers.
Eco-oven cleaner cleans reflow ovens, wave soldering systems, and associated heat exchanger systems by removing all types of flux residues. It is used for periodic preventative maintenance to keep equipment performing at peak levels and is fast acting and more effective than IPA for baked-on flux residues. As it is non-flammable, it can be used on warm equipment, saving maintenance downtime.
The benefits of the Renew product line include low-ecological impact, low VOCs and no global warming, sustainable and biodegradable, recycled/recyclable packaging and regulatory compliance – they fully meet European REACH and WEEE requirements.
