Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials announces the launch of its new ALPHA AutoClean 40 Semi-Aqueous Electronics Cleaner formulated for the efficient removal of pre and post soldering flux residues from flux spray equipment, ovens, pallets, carriers, jigs and printed circuit assemblies.  This product is a carefully researched, mildly alkaline (pH value of <12) blend of synergistic surfactants and emulsifiers that ensures excellent cleaning and inhibition of the re-deposition of dissolved soils.

“ALPHA AutoClean 40 provides several key features that make it versatile and easy to use,” said Rob Healey, Cookson’s product manager.  “Its formula allows it to be heated, used in ultrasonic machines and sprayed on hot equipment.  With AutoClean 40’s low cost of ownership, equipment and board cleanliness, and product reliability can be dramatically improved.”

ALPHA AutoClean 40 is more effective than IPA and more versatile than solvent-based cleaners or saponifiers for equipment maintenance and board cleaning.  It is biodegradable and non-flammable, and contains no CFCs, chlorinated solvents or acids.  www.alphametals.com
