Solvent Cleaners

Characteristics

WS-24 SOLVENT CLEANER is a blend of polar and non-polar solvents ideally suited for cold cleaning utilizing ultrasonic agitations and wave or bottom brush equipment. The non polar component effectively removes non ionic solids such as soldering oils and rosin flux residues where as the polar components dissolves ionic contaminants such as flux activators which if left on printed circuit boards can cause current leakage and corrosion under humid environmental conditions. The cleaner is completely stabilized against thermal and chemical breakdown.

WS-24 boils at a temperature much higher than the customary Fluorinated solvents (about 46C) and chlorinated solvents (about 72C) as a result of which the solvent evaporation rate at room temperature is substantially lower making it highly economical to use.

The cleaner is non-flammable and non-combustible and therefore extremely safe to use.

Application

Though most types of component materials and markings are not affected by WS-24, some plastics are, such as Polystyrenes and Polycarbonates. It is therefore necessary to establish solvent component capability prior to use.

Health & Safety

Though WS-24 does not have an objectionable odor, a well ventilated working area is necessary. Splashing on skin should be removed by washing with soap and water. If the material comes in contact with the eyes, they should be irrigated thoroughly with running water for at least 10 minutes. In extreme cases medical attention should be sought.
