Kester 5252 Cleaning Solvent

Product overview Kester 5252 Cleaner

Kester 5252 Cleaner is a halogen-free solvent developed for cleaning applications. 5252 is not ozone depleting and is environmentally friendly. It is a suitable substitute for chlorinated solvents used in cleaning applications where fast air-drying is critical. 5252 is most effective as a solvent to clean stencils efficiently. It also readily dissolves misprinted solder pastes, wave-soldered flux residues and other organic contaminants from electronic assemblies. 5252 provides rapid, effective and safe cleaning action. This cleaning solvent is a non-ionic and relatively non-toxic liquid with mild odor.

Technical specifications

Applications

• Stencil cleaning – effectively removes solder paste residues from SMT stencils.
• Misprinted assembly cleaning – dissolves and removes misprinted solder paste from PCB assemblies.
• Flux residue removal – removes post-soldering flux residues from wave-soldered and reflow assemblies.
• Organic contaminant removal – cleans oils, residues and other organic contaminants from electronic assemblies.
• General-purpose cleaning – suitable for various industrial and electronic cleaning processes.
  

Key features

• Fast evaporation – helps reduce cleaning and drying time.
• Excellent stencil cleaning efficiency – effectively dissolves solder paste residues.
• Halogen-free formulation – suitable for electronics manufacturing applications.
• ODP = 0 – does not contribute to ozone depletion.
• Non-ionic and non-corrosive – compatible with many commonly used electronic assembly materials.
• Multiple cleaning methods – suitable for ultrasonic, spray, immersion and manual cleaning.

Note: 5252 Cleaner is a flammable solvent. It should be stored away from heat, sparks and open flames and used only in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment.
