SWAT

Safewash Total

SWAT is a specially formulated blend of non-flammable solvents which forms a micro-emulsion when mixed

with water. Designed for cleaning printed circuit boards, it is ideal for the safe removal of all types of paste,

adhesive and flux residues, including no-clean. Supplied as a concentrate, SWAT contains a corrosion inhibitor

allowing the safe cleaning of sensitive metals including copper and aluminium. SWAT is part of the Electrolube

Safewash range; water-based, non-flammable, biodegradable solvent blends designed to clean to within military

cleanliness standards, (ANSI-J-001B/IPC TM-650).

• Micro-emulsion with high solvency for removal of flux residues; ideal for stubborn deposits

• Low foaming action; suitable for use in pressure wash systems as well as ultrasonic equipment

• Supplied as a concentrate; allows versatility and control in the production process

• Non-flammable product, 100% ozone friendly; suitable for use in standard cleaning equipment

Approvals RoHS-2 Compliant (2011/65/EU): Yes

Page 2 Directions for Use Safewash Total is a low foam cleaner, suitable for use in dishwasher and in-line pressure systems, as well as Ultrasonic and spray under immersion applications. In the event that contaminants to the cleaning solution cause foaming during use, additions of Safewash Defoamer (SWD) can be made as necessary. Spray application For a typical application, Safewash Total should be diluted to 20% with de-ionised water and applied for a wash time of 5-10 minutes at 40-60°C.

Page 3 The cloud temperature can be measured by gently heating a sample of solution from ambient and noting the temperature at which it becomes cloudy. Refractive index (or BRIX) is a simple test for solution control. Small hand held refractometers can be purchased from suppliers such as Bellingham and Stanley, at a low cost. Both pH and conductivity are also valid methods for solution control however the change with increasing contamination uptake will depend on the residues removed.
