VIGON® RC101
Water-based cleaning medium for manual cleaning of reflow ovens and wave solder systems
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. VIGON® RC 303 is the successor product with increased cleaning performance.
Areas of application
Advantages compared to other cleaners
VIGON® RC 101 has a mild formulation. 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.
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; therefore, avoiding 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
Reduced cleaning agent consumption compared to IPA.
