2.1 Asmeninės apsaugos priemonės (AAP)

  • Akių apsauga: Wear chemical splash goggles or a full face shield to protect against splashes.
  • Rankų apsauga: Use chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile, neoprene, or butyl rubber).
  • Odos apsauga: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
  • Kvėpavimo takų apsauga: If ventilation is inadequate or exposure limits are exceeded, use an approved respirator with appropriate cartridges.

2.2 Tvarkymas ir laikymas

  • Užtikrinkite tinkamą vėdinimą darbo zonoje.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
  • Negalima nuryti.
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials and direct sunlight.
  • Nenaudojamas talpyklas laikyti sandariai uždarytas.

2.3 Avarinės procedūros

  • Įkvėpimas: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Seek medical attention.
  • Kontaktas su oda: Kruopščiai nuplaukite muilu ir vandeniu. Nuvilkite užterštus drabužius. Jei dirginimas nepraeina, kreipkitės medicininės pagalbos.
  • Akių kontaktas: Nedelsiant plaukite dideliu kiekiu vandens mažiausiai 15 minučių, laikydami atmerktus vokus. Nedelsdami kreipkitės medicininės pagalbos.
  • Nurijimas: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek immediate medical attention.

3. Pasiruošimas ir sąranka

Before using Chemtronics ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous, ensure your workspace is properly prepared and all necessary safety measures are in place.

3.1 Darbo vietos paruošimas

  • Ensure the work area is clean, well-lit, and has adequate ventilation.
  • Lay down protective coverings (e.g., chemical-resistant mats) to prevent spills from damaging surfaces.
  • Have appropriate waste containers ready for spent cleaning solution and contaminated materials.

3.2 Product Dilution (if applicable)

The ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous may be used concentrated or diluted with deionized (DI) water, depending on the severity of the flux residue and the cleaning method. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for recommended dilution ratios for specific applications (e.g., ultrasonic, spray, or manual cleaning). Always add the cleaner to water, not water to cleaner, to minimize foaming.

3.3 Įrangos sąranka

For automated cleaning systems (e.g., ultrasonic baths, inline cleaners), follow the manufacturer's instructions for filling and operating the equipment with aqueous cleaning solutions. Ensure all equipment is compatible with water-based cleaners.

4. Naudojimo instrukcijos

The Chemtronics ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous can be used in various cleaning methods. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure material compatibility.

4.1 Rankinis valymas

  1. Taikyti: Dispense a small amount of ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous onto a clean, lint-free wipe, brush, or swab.
  2. Šveitimas: Gently scrub the areas contaminated with flux residue. For stubborn residues, allow the solution to dwell for a short period (e.g., 30 seconds to 1 minute) to penetrate the flux.
  3. Išskalauti: Thoroughly rinse the cleaned area with deionized (DI) water to remove all cleaner and dissolved flux residues. Inadequate rinsing can lead to white residues.
  4. Sausas: Dry the assembly completely using compressed air, a heat gun (at a safe temperature), or by allowing it to air dry in a clean environment.

4.2 Ultragarsinis valymas

  1. Prepare Bath: Fill the ultrasonic bath with the appropriate dilution of ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous and DI water.
  2. Degas: Degas the solution by running the ultrasonic unit for 5-10 minutes before introducing parts.
  3. Panardinti: Carefully immerse the electronic assemblies into the cleaning solution. Ensure full immersion and avoid overcrowding the bath.
  4. Išvalyti: Run the ultrasonic unit for the recommended duration (typically 5-15 minutes, depending on flux type and residue thickness).
  5. Išskalauti: Transfer assemblies to a separate rinse bath filled with fresh DI water. Rinse thoroughly, potentially using a second DI water rinse bath for critical applications.
  6. Sausas: Dry the assemblies completely using a forced-air dryer, oven, or compressed air.

4.3 Spray Cleaning (Batch or Inline)

For automated spray cleaning systems, follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for operating temperatures, spray pressures, and cycle times. Ensure the system is properly charged with ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous and followed by adequate DI water rinsing stages.

  • Temperatūra: Optimal cleaning performance is often achieved with heated solutions (e.g., 40-60°C / 104-140°F), but always consult the product's technical data sheet.
  • Skalavimas: Multiple rinse stages with fresh DI water are crucial to prevent re-deposition of contaminants.
  • Džiovinimas: Ensure thorough drying using heated air knives or convection drying zones.
