Cleaning products
Emil Otto invests a lot of time in its own laboratory to develop the best fluxes and cleaning media for demanding tasks.
This is because only reliable consumables guarantee reliable end products. Many of our customers manufacture end products that are relevant to safety, such as brakes, drives, camera systems, sensors and automation solutions. For these systems, reliability is paramount. That is why we are constantly working on new, even better solutions in our laboratory. In doing so, we draw on the current know-how of our chemists as well as on the formulations and experience we have gained in more than 100 years of company history.
Less rework, completely eliminated or reduced cleaning processes as well as our fluxes from the Multiflux range, which can be used for wave and selective soldering, hand and repair soldering as well as dip soldering, reduce our customers’ manufacturing costs. The same applies to our water-based fluxes or concentrates, which minimise transport and storage costs as they are not hazardous materials. Emil Otto is always interested in keeping costs as low as possible for its customers.
The importance of cleaning products in electronics
Electronic assemblies are sensitive. During production, residues of soldering materials, greases and other contaminants can accumulate on the PCBs and components. These residues can not only impair electrical functions, but also lead to corrosion and other long-term damage. However, cleaning with high-quality products can ensure both the performance and the lifespan of electronic devices.
The same applies to the soldering systems used in production and the associated aids, such as stencils and varnishing frames. These components must also be cleaned regularly to ensure reliable, precise and long-lasting use. In particular, the cleaning of SMT stencils is essential. Only a clean stencil can guarantee error-free solder paste printing, which is the basis for high-quality, reproducible electronics. Therefore, a reliable SMT process starts with a clean printing stencil.
Our product portfolio
Emil Otto offers a wide range of cleaning agents that are tailored to the specific requirements of the electronics industry. These include:
- Cleaning agents for PCBs: These products are specially formulated to effectively remove stubborn flux residues and other contaminants from PCBs without damaging the sensitive components.
- ESD-safe cleaning products: Electrostatic discharges are a major problem in electronics. Our ESD-safe cleaning agents prevent static electricity from damaging electronic components. They are therefore ideal for use in ESD-protected areas.
- Machine cleaners: Our special cleaning agents are formulated to clean soldering equipment and remove residues from condensate traps, soldering and varnishing frames, stencils, nozzles and dosing needles.
Other cleaning agents, such as disinfectants, complete our portfolio.
