VIGON SC210 Water-based stencil cleaner for the removal of solder pastes and SMT adhesives

VIGON® SC 210 is a water-based cleaning agent specifically developed for SMT stencils. Based on the MPC® Technology, the cleaning agent reliably removes solder paste and SMT adhesives in a single process and provides optimal cleaning results even at low temperatures starting from 18°C/64°F. VIGON® SC 210 is designed to be used in either spray-in-air or ultrasonic cleaning equipment. Depending on the flux type, it can also be used for misprint cleaning. In addition, VIGON® SC 210 can be used to remove adhesives from tools (particularly dispensing needles).

  • Area of application – Stencils, Misprints & Tools

  • Advantages compared to other cleaners

    • VIGON® SC 210 shows constantly good cleaning results at temperatures between 18-40°C/64-104°F.

    • The cleaning agent is water-based, surfactant-free and does not leave residue on substrates or inside the cleaning equipment.

    • VIGON® SC 210 shows excellent material compatibility with SMT stencils.

    • The cleaning agent has no flash point and thus can be applied without explosion-proof protection.

    • VOC value significantly below 20%, easy compliance with local regulations on VOC emissions.

    • Non-foaming, low-odor, no build-up of organics in the rinsing section.

    • Can also be used to remove adhesives from tools, especially from dispensing needles.
