2. Bezpečnostní informace

Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) thoroughly before use. The SDS provides detailed information on hazards, precautions, first aid, and emergency procedures. Always keep the product in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

2.1 Osobní ochranné prostředky (OOP)

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

2.2 Manipulace a skladování

• Zajistěte dostatečné větrání v pracovním prostoru.
• Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
• Nepožívejte.
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials and direct sunlight.
• Uchovávejte nádoby těsně uzavřené, když je nepoužíváte.

2.3 Nouzové postupy

• Inhalace: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Seek medical attention.
• Kontakt s kůží: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
• Oční kontakt: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention.
• Požití: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek immediate medical attention.

3. Příprava a nastavení

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

3.1 Příprava pracovního prostoru

• 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 Nastavení zařízení

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. Návod k obsluze

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 Ruční čištění

1. Použít: Dispense a small amount of ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous onto a clean, lint-free wipe, brush, or swab.
2. Drhnout: 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. Opláchněte: 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. Schnout: 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 Ultrazvukové čištění

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. Ponořit: Carefully immerse the electronic assemblies into the cleaning solution. Ensure full immersion and avoid overcrowding the bath.
4. Čistý: Run the ultrasonic unit for the recommended duration (typically 5-15 minutes, depending on flux type and residue thickness).
5. Opláchněte: 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. Schnout: 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.

• Teplota: 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.
• Máchání: Multiple rinse stages with fresh DI water are crucial to prevent re-deposition of contaminants.
• Sušení: Ensure thorough drying using heated air knives or convection drying zones.

5. Údržba a skladování

Proper maintenance and storage ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the Chemtronics ES132 Flux-Off Aqueous.

5.1 Skladování produktu

• Skladujte na chladném, suchém a dobře větraném místě.
• Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
• Avoid extreme temperatures (freezing or excessive heat).
• Store away from incompatible materials (e.g., strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents).

5.2 Údržba zařízení

• Regularly clean and maintain all cleaning equipment (ultrasonic baths, spray systems) according to their respective manufacturer's instructions.
• Monitor the cleanliness of the cleaning solution. Replace or filter the solution when it becomes visibly contaminated or its cleaning effectiveness diminishes.
• Ensure rinse water quality is maintained, especially for DI water systems.
