VIGON® RC 101 - Cleaning Agent for Reflow and Wave Solder Equipment

VIGON® RC 101 - Cleaning Agent for Reflow and Wave Solder Equipment Description:

Water-based Cleaning Medium for Reflow and Wave Solder Equipment.

Based on the MPC® Technology, VIGON® RC 101 was specifically developed to remove all types of baked-on flux residues from reflow and wave solder equipment. It reliably removes re-condensated fluxes and emissions from assemblies.

Areas of application:

• Low solid flux residues
• Rosin based flux residues
• Water soluble flux residues
• Synthetic fluxes
• Fumigation contamination

Advantages compared to other cleaning agents:

• VIGON® RC 101 has a mild formulation with a low alkaline pH-value. Therefore, no special labeling is required.
• Excellent material compatibility with aluminum and epoxy surfaces
• The cleaning agent is also suitable for the pre-cleaning of condensation traps.
• VIGON® RC 101 has little odor.

Advantages compared to other oven cleaners:

• VIGON® RC 101 has no flash point and therefore can be applied directly onto cold or warm surfaces (30 - 40 °C / 86 - 104 °F).
• The medium does not contain any ingredients, which could leave residues on the oven surfaces. This avoids harmful condensations on the assembly surfaces after restarts.
• Due to the short soaking time, a quick and efficient cleaning process can be achieved and long machine downtimes can be avoided.

Advantages - conveyor fingers cleaning:

• Reduced cleaning agent consumption compared to IPA.
• Its no flashpoint formulation significantly increases the operator’s safety.

Environmental, health and safety regulations:

• VIGON® RC 101 is water-based and biodegradable.
• VIGON® RC 101 is formulated free of halogenated compounds and is very environmentally friendly and considered a non-hazardous material.
• No special precaution for handling VIGON® RC 101 is required.

Availability/Storage:

• VIGON® RC 101 is available as a ready-to-use solution in 1l spray bottles, 5l or 25l containers and 200l drums.
• Store VIGON® RC 101 in the original container at a temperature between 5 - 30 °C / 41 - 86 °F.
• The product has a minimum shelf life of 5 years in factory sealed containers.

Alternative product recommendation:

• For dip-tank cleaning of removable oven parts, i.e. condensation traps or solder frames, we recommend ATRON® SP 200.
• This also applies for extremely baked-on residues.

About MPC® Technology

MPC® stands for Micro Phase Cleaning and is a water-based cleaning technology developed by ZESTRON. Aspects of this Technology are internationally patented.

The unique feature of MPC® Technology is, that it combines the advantages of  traditional solvents and surfactants  without their drawbacks.

Advantages of MPC® Technology

MPC® cleaners are characterized by a wide process window. The combination of polar and non-polar compounds allow MPC® cleaning agents to  clean various organic and inorganic residues.

Further advantages of MPC® cleaners:

• Water based: non-flammable
• Extremely  low VOC content:  particularly environmentally friendly
• Highly filterable: very cost-effective surfactant free: no surfactant residues on the surfaces
• Excellent material compatibility
