INTERTRONICS UNVEILS SPECIALIST “GREEN” CLEANERS - FOR ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURE

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.

Peter Swanson, Managing Director of Intertronics enthused: “We are really excited to bring more of these innovative, ‘green’ products to our customers, as part of our ongoing program to offer our customers state-of-the-art technologies - and so enable them to meet their goals of environmental awareness, safety and performance. We believe that these new specialist cleaners genuinely surpass what is currently on the market and mark a significant step forward in eco-technology.”

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.
