Electrolube:

Electronic & General Purpose Cleaning

Cleaning is an essential process within electronics manufacture and has been used for many years to remove potentially harmful contaminants during PCB manufacture.

Such contaminants include flux, solder and adhesive residues, and other more general contaminants such as dust and debris present from other manufacturing processes.

Some of the most popular products in this category are featured below, the full range can be viewed in the brochure:

Safewash

The Safewash range consists of water based cleaning solvents, suitable for the cleaning of PCBs and production equipment. The Safewash products are water-based, non-flammable, 100% ozone friendly, biodegradable solvent blends designed to clean to well within the world’s military cleanliness standards. (ANSI-J-001B/IPC TM-650).

SWAS removes all types of flux residues (RA, RMA, no-clean and water-soluble) quickly and efficiently, with minimal environmental effect using low cost, readily available cleaning equipment. It is ideally suited for the removal of very stubborn flux resides and no-clean fluxes, which can be extremely difficult to remove. SWAS will remove them to military cleanliness standards. It also has a lower odour than the other Safewash variants and is easy to rinse. For spray applications where foam generation may be a problem, an alternative Safewash should be used. Please check the brochure for other Safewash products.
