New Environmentally Friendly High Performance Deflux system, MICROCLEANER_®

Introduction

Flux cleaning, that is essential for high-density packaging.In the midst of tightening regulations on chemical substances, such as the discontinuation of production of HCFCs and the addition of GB standards for cleaning agents to China's VOC regulations, KAKEN TECH has developed the MICROCLEAN ECO & MARKLESS_® ECO Series, high-performance, low-VOC cleaning liquid that combine even higher precision cleaning with environmental friendliness.

Nano-sized powerful cleaning effect

KAKEN TECH's conventional low-VOC cleaning liquids effectively clean flux residues with components that are phase-separated into an oil phase and an aqueous phase. The newly developed MICROCLEAN ECO series miniaturizes the oil phase to nano size, and powerfully removes flux residue in narrow gaps that cannot be removed by conventional cleaning liquid.

MICROCLEAN ECO & MARKLESS_® ECO series

Advantages

	☝Excellent narrow gap cleaning and particle removal With new mechanism of cleaning, flux even in a narrow gap of 50μm or less can be cleaned. Also, they excellently remove particles such as minute solder balls, sebum, and fine particles that are hard to remove with conventional flux cleaning liquids.
	☝Eco-friendly low VOC, and non Dangerous goods About 70% of the ingredients are water, which reduces VOC (Volatile Organic Com-pounds) emissions in the drying process and volatilization.The product has no flash point, and does not fall under the United Nations Recommen- dations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNRTDG), so it can be transported as a normal product.

Claning equipment, MICROCLEANER_® specification

Flux cleaning (PCB cleaning) is indispensable for ensuring the reliability of high-density mounting boards.
KAKEN TECH offers one-stop cleaning solutions by taking advantage of its strength in developing, designing, manufacturing, and selling both flux cleaning equipment and cleaning agents in-house.
In response to the requests from customers who are considering flux cleaning but cannot imagine how the equipment works, KAKEN TECH will introduce the mechanism and movement of the MICROCLEANER_®, flux cleaning system, using full computer graphics animation.
