Technical Data Sheet
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Flux-Off Aqueous is an extra-strength water based cleaner for flux removal in ultrasonic, batch and in-line cleaning systems. It is an excellent cleaner for the removal of all rosin and no clean flux types from electronic subassemblies, printed circuit boards and all other electronic components. This concentrated formula can be diluted 1:10 with deionized water for
handling all cleaning applications. Flux-Off Aqueous will effectively remove other contaminants such as dirt, grease, handling soils and molding compounds. For use with ultrasonic, batch and in-line
cleaning systems
Quickly removes all rosin and no clean
flux types
Re moves encrusted, har d, baked fluxes Powerful cleaner leave s no residue Conta ins no CFCs or HCFCs Nonabrasive and noncorrosive Nonflammable RoHS compliant

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
For industrial use only. Read MSDS care fully prior to use.
Dilute 1:10 with deionized wate r for general cleaning. Can be used in hot or cold immersion, ultrasonic or aqueous cleaning systems. For imme rsion systems, soa k as necessary. For ultrasonic cleaning, add
Flux-Off
Aqueous to the ultrasonic cleaning tank, allow about two minutes for the mixture to degas, and immer se the part to be cleaned in the ultrasonic clea ner. After cleaning, rinse parts thoroughly in de­ionized water and dry where required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are regulated un der the Mont real Protocol as Class II ozone depleting substances. HCFC-141b is no longer produced in the US under this legislation. HCFC-225 is planned for production phase-out in 2015. Hydrofluorocarb ons (HFCs) are not currently regulated. EPA has listed n-propyl bromide (nPB) as an acceptable alternative to ozone depleting substances in metal, precision, and electronics cleaning under Section 612 of the Clean Air Act.
