Electrolube Safewash Total aqueous cleaner

Electrolube’s aqueous cleaning solution, Safewash Total, can be used for military and commercial applications. The product provides cleaning performance to military cleanliness standards (ANSI-J-001B/IPC TM-650) at minimal environmental cost.

Designed for cleaning printed circuit boards, the cleaner is suitable for the removal of leaded, lead-free and no-clean flux residues. It is also suitable for the removal of pastes and adhesives from screens, stencils, boards and accessories, as well as general degreasing applications.

The low-foam cleaner has been developed with a specially formulated blend of non-flammable solvents, which form a micro-emulsion when mixed with water. It is suitable for use in dishwasher and inline pressure systems, as well as ultrasonic and spray under immersion applications.

Supplied as a concentrate, the product has an in-built corrosion inhibitor, allowing for the safe cleaning of sensitive metals, including copper and aluminium. It is also harmless to plastics in typical application temperatures and cycle times, although testing is always advised in the specific application prior to large-scale use.

The product has the versatility to allow cleaning using an array of different equipment and methods, even at low temperatures. Being surfactant-free, it is easy to rinse. It offers a low hazard rate, VOC, odour and foam, making it environmentally and user-friendly.
