VIGON® SC 200 is a water-based cleaning agent designed to clean SMT stencils at room temperature. Based on the MPC® Technology, the cleaning agent reliably removes solder pastes and SMT adhesives in one single process and can also be used for stencil underside wiping in printers. It is designed for the use in spray-in-air and ultrasonic cleaning systems and is also recommended for cleaning misprinted solder paste. Depending on the type of fluxes, VIGON® SC 200 can also be used for misprints on double-sided PCBAs with one side already soldered.

-
High bath loading capability, very good filterability and therefore a long bath life as well as low maintenance costs.
-
Due to its mild formulation, the medium shows excellent material compatibility with stencils.
-
Applicable in spray-in-air systems, ultrasonic dip tanks and printers.
-
Recommended for ambient cleaning temperatures.
-
Water-based cleaner without flash point, no explosion-proof protection required.
-
Applicable in closed-loop systems.
-
No foaming when used in spray-in-air systems, low odor, no building of organics in the rinsing section.
-
VIGON® SC 200 has been approved by leading international manufacturers for the use in their stencil printers. Written approvals can be obtained from ZESTRON.

| Spray-in-air | VIGON® SC 200 | VIGON® SC 200, water or DI-water* | Hot air or circulating air |
| Ultrasonic | VIGON® SC 200 | VIGON® SC 200, water or DI-water* | Hot air or circulating air |
| SMT printer | VIGON® SC 200 | not applicable | vacuum drying |
*Depending on the water hardness, rinsing with regular water might be sufficient for stencil cleaning. In the case of high water hardness,
lime marks may stay behind. For misprint cleaning, rinsing with DI-water is highly recommended.
