Warton Surf Clean SCS-18-44 is an ozone-friendly, aqueous-based saponification cleaning solution used for the efficient cleaning of electronic assemblies and general degreasing operations.SCS-18-44 has a non-flammable formulation which is suitable for manual and automated ultrasonic or spray-under-immersion batch cleaning methods and easily removes post-soldering residues from rosin / resin and no-clean type fluxes following wave soldering, reflow soldering and hand assembly.It is suitable for assemblies which do not contain sensitive substrates or metals and is a formulated blend of water, biodegradable solvent and basic neutralising agent designed to quickly eliminate acidic flux residues with a capability of absorbing over 15% the weight of the cleaner of resinous / flux solids.Due to the active amine neutralizing agent, extended soak times allow SCS 18-44 to be used for micro-etching applications which require both a slight chemical abrasion and excellent cleanliness prior to plating, by generating an improved surface for good plating results.SCS-18-44 contains a useful staged-colour indicator system, offering the user a quick visual method to determine the condition of the cleaning solution. Traditional conductivity control methods can also be utilized. |
