Emil Otto Launches New Flux Remover onto the Market
March 21, 2019 | Emil Otto GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Emil Otto expands the range of assembly cleaning agents with a manually applied medium for the removal of flux residues.
The EO-RA-007 Flux Remover is a clear, colorless cleaning liquid, based on an isopropyl alcohol - solvent mixture, which has been developed for the manual cleaning of circuit boards of flux residues. The new cleaning agent can remove both residues containing resin as well as those that are resin-free. But besides flux residues, all other impurities can also be removed, such as dust, fingerprints, grease and oils. The circuit board substrate does not thereby play a role, as the EO-RA-007 reacts non-corrosive. The cleaning agent can therefore be used on all types of circuit board.
EO-RA-007 is supplied in a 400 mml spray can, which is provided with a brush attachment. The cleaning liquid can thereby be applied specifically and sparingly to the circuit board. Since the cleaning agent is applied manually, particular attention was given to the odor, to ensure that it is pleasant and that the application is as easy as possible. Furthermore, it has been shown both in internal tests as well as in customer tests, that the period of residue-free evaporation is ideal for the optimal cleaning in manual applications. EO-RA-007 evaporates fast and does not leave behind any residues. Ideally, the cleaning agent can be wiped from the assembly with an ESD cloth. EO-RA-007 is therefore ideally suited for the reworking of assemblies or for manual soldering.
