Eco-Stencil™ SMT Stencil Cleaner
Product# 1570
Product Description
Effectively removes all types of solder paste (e.g. water-based, RMA,
no-clean, lead-free) and uncured adhesive from screens, misprinted
boards and equipment. Completely safe on stencils, squeegees, and
equipment surfaces. Ideal replacement for IPA cleaners, which are
often prohibited because of safety and environmental restrictions on
VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) or waste disposal.
One quart (with a trigger sprayer) and one gallon containers are ideal
for surface and tool cleaning. Packaging is selected to be easily
recyclable. Quart labels made of recycled paper, and cartons made
of 40% recycled material.
Trigger pump on quart (1570-QT) eliminates the need for
propellants, which can have a global warming impact. Eco-Stencil™
Cleaner is fully compliant with CARB (California Air Resource Board)
requirements.
Also compliant with European REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization & Restriction of Chemicals) and WEEE (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive) initiatives. It does not contain
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) restricted substances,
SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) list substances, or halides.
