Emil Otto presents extended range of assembly cleaners

In addition to the Etimol DFX 80 CA, the Hessian flux and cleaning agent manufacturer is introducing a new assembly cleaner for direct use on printed circuit boards: Etimol DFX 81 RAA. Both assembly cleaners are suitable for removing flux residues and ionic contamination.

"Our customers are increasingly interested in the removal of various residues after the production process of an assembly," says Markus Geßner, Head of Marketing and Sales at Emil Otto GmbH. In addition to flux residues, the focus is also shifting to ionic contamination of the assemblies. "Both types of contamination mean that subsequent processes, such as conformal coating, cannot be carried out reliably," continues Geßner. The cleaning process and the cleaning agent used therefore play an increasingly important role.

Emil Otto has been offering the alkaline cleaning concentrate Etimol DFX 80 CA for some time now. This is a cleaning agent that has been tailored to the requirements of electronic assemblies and has an efficient cleaning effect, excellent rinsing properties and high bath loading capacity. Based on the Etimol DFX 80 CA, the ready-to-use product mixture Etimol DFX 81 RAA which can be used immediately and directly on the circuit board. Both cleaning agents can replace corrosive chemicals in a process-optimized manner and thus achieve a higher degree of occupational safety and environmental protection. Both the concentrate and the finished mixture are non-hazardous goods, which simplifies product storage and shipping, which can therefore also be carried out in a more cost-optimized manner.
