Eco-Oven™ SMT Oven Cleaner
Product# 1573
(replaces 1691)
Product Description
Cleans reflow ovens, wave soldering systems, and associated heat
exchanger systems by removing all types of flux residues (e.g. water-
based, RMA, no-clean, lead-free). Used for periodic preventative
maintenance to keep equipment running at top levels. It is fast
acting and more effective than IPA for baked-on flux residues.
One gallon container (1573-G) recommended for wave solder finger
cleaning. Just pour into the designated reservoir of your wave
soldering machine. Trigger pump on quart (1573-QT) eliminates the
need for propellants, which can have a global warming impact.
One quart (with a trigger sprayer) and one gallon containers are ideal
for surface and tool cleaning. Packaging is selected to be easily
recyclable. Labels made of recycled paper, and cartons made of 40%
recycled material.
™
Eco-Oven Cleaner is fully compliant with CARB (California Air
Resource Board) requirements.

Directions
SMT Oven Cleaning
•
Allow oven to cool down slightly and apply on warm surface
(below 100°C).
•
Spray and saturate the soiled area. Let soak for 5 minutes.
•
Using a lint-free wipe (we recommend Techspray 2350-100 Wiper),
wipe lightly at first to allow cleaning agent to break down residues.
•
Continue to wipe in a circular motion until the flux residues are fully
removed.
•
Wipe completely with damp (w/water) cloth to remove remaining
residue.
•
Dispose of soiled wipe as appropriate depending on the type of residues
removed.
Wave Solder Finger Cleaning
•
Fill cleaner into finger cleaning reservoir.
•
Keep adequate liquid level.

Note: Eco-Oven™ is a water-based formula, so will encourage
oxidation with prolonged exposure to iron, steel, and other
susceptible metals.
Prolonged exposure can result in discoloration and/or metal loss.
Tests on copper coils of thermal transfer systems on reflow ovens
show minimal compatibility issues even after repeating 10-20 minute
soaking cycles weekly. Rinsing or blow drying with compressed air or
duster should be done to minimize exposure.
