Why It Wins

Electronics cleaning without the fear

Electronics cleaning used to mean solvents: flammable, regulated, and increasingly unavailable. Electro replaces them with water-based chemistry that removes rosin, no-clean and water-soluble flux residues — at 20–45 °C, non-flammable, with none of the vapour-management burden.

'No-clean' flux is the quiet trap it addresses: low-residue is not no-residue, and under humidity those residues become leakage paths and corrosion sites. Boards destined for conformal coating, RF service or long field life come off the line cleaner than their specification asks — cheaply.

Frequency, power and fixturing matter as much as chemistry on populated assemblies, which is why the electronics parameter set is proven on sacrificial boards in trial before production ever runs. Components that should be excluded get named before they get damaged.

Bath Life

This is not a single-use chemical

A common misconception treats industrial chemistry like dishwater — used once, tipped out. A defended bath of Electro works for weeks of production: weir oil separation and filtration defend the bath, solids leave through the filter, and the chemistry keeps working until genuine depletion.

Change out on evidence, not anxiety: when cycle times stretch or results fade at correct concentration, the bath has earned its retirement. Top-ups at specification carry it between changes.

Keep It Honest
  • Skim or weir oils continuously — oil load is bath killer #1
  • Filter solids; drain settled sludge from the sump
  • Verify concentration on schedule per the TDS check method
  • Log it — the trend predicts top-ups before cleaning fades
Storage

Drum and bath, both looked after

The Concentrate
  • Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact.
  • Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
  • Store away from foodstuffs.
  • Store away from incompatible materials described in Section 10.
  • Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
  • Keep container standing upright.
  • Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.

The Working Bath

Lid the tank between shifts — holds temperature, limits evaporation, keeps dust out.

Idle periods: a warm, stagnant aqueous bath can support biological growth over extended stagnation. Circulate periodically, keep concentration at specification, never leave an open tank standing for weeks.

Extended shutdown: drain to sealed, labelled containers — or schedule changeover for restart day.

PPE & exposure controls
  • National occupational exposure limits: TWA STEL NOTICES ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 (2-Methoxymethylethoxy) propanol 50 308 - - Sk Ethanolamine 3 7.5 6 15 - As published by Safe Work Australia.
  • TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week over an entire working life.
  • STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday. ‘Sk' Notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure.
  • The exposure standard is invalidated if such contact should occur.
  • These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards.
  • All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable.
  • These exposure standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals.

Electro FAQ

Asked at the tank

What dilution and temperature do I run?
Ready-formulated at 20–45 °C — and the trial sets your exact process values against your soil. Running richer than specified wastes chemical without cleaning faster. That range is the chemistry’s window — not the whole answer. The substrate sets its own ceiling, and it is usually lower: aluminium and anodised finishes discolour above about 65 °C, zinc and coated parts lower again, and magnesium is governed by pH before temperature. Run at the lower of the two. Bath temperature — chemistry vs substrate →
When do I change the bath?
When cycle times stretch, results fade, or filtration stops holding the debris. Drain, clean the tank, refill — never lay fresh solution over settled sludge.
Can algae grow in the bath if it sits unused?
Over extended stagnation, any warm diluted aqueous bath can support growth as preservative systems deplete. Prevention: circulate periodically, hold concentration at specification, lid the tank. If a bloom happens: drain, clean the tank including weir and lines with hot fresh solution, rinse and refill — never dose on top of growth.
Can I get the SDS before buying?
Yes — every product ships with its SDS, and documents are available ahead of purchase for your chemical register and risk assessments.

Prove it on your parts

The trial pairs Electro with your components — concentration, temperature and cycle documented before you order a drum. Wrong chemistry for your soil? The trial says so.
