Electronics Industry

Based on the vast range of technical sophistication and minute size of the parts, the electronics industry sets high standards in precision cleaning. The proper selection and use of cleaning solvents is one of the most important factors to consider when evaluating a cleaning process. One of the most essential aspects is the compatibility of the cleaning solutions with the parts to be cleaned. If the cleaning solvents are not compatible with the components used, degraded performance and even field failures can result. Cleaning solvents used on electronics parts and assemblies should be non-corrosive, should not dissolve or degrade the quality of parts or materials and should leave cleaned, non-conductive surfaces.

For this purpose SAFECHEM Europe GmbH offers a range of cleaning products from the DOWCLENE™ PX series. They may be used for applications such as: printers, screens/templates, circuit boards, and soldering frames.
