Emil Otto expands range with label-free soldering system cleaner

With Etimol SEM 12 RAA, Emil Otto GmbH is launching a label-free medium for cleaning reflow ovens, wave and selective soldering systems and vapor phases. Various contaminants and flux residues can be removed efficiently and gently with the new soldering system cleaner.

The water-based, alkaline cleaning medium Etimol SEM 12 RAA efficiently removes flux residues and outgassing from circuit boards from all soldering systems used in electronics production. "The foaming formulation achieves an improved product effect. Etimol SEM 12 RAA can also be used with soldering machines at residual heat and has a mild inherent odor. Compared to Etimol SEM 11 RAA, the new cleaning medium has a slightly stronger cleaning effect and is therefore ideal for heavily soiled soldering systems," says Markus Gessner, Marketing and Sales Manager at Emil Otto GmbH, introducing the new soldering system cleaner.

The cleaning medium is sprayed onto the surfaces to be cleaned at room temperature and removed again after a few minutes' exposure time. Due to the innovative formulation, no residues of the cleaner remain in the soldering equipment when soldering temperatures >200 degrees are reached. "Like all our cleaning media in the Etimol series, Etimol SEM 12 RAA is not a hazardous product. As we completely dispense with flammable or corrosive chemicals, the cleaning medium is also completely label-free," adds Gessner.
