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).

*Depending on the hardness of the water, 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.
