Stencil Cleaning Solutions

SMT stencil cleaning solutions from Surclean — designed for performance and sustainability.

Surclean Stencil Cleaning Range

Designed for Performance and Sustainability

Consistent, reliable stencil printing is a prerequisite for high-quality surface mount technology (SMT) assembly. Poor stencil cleanliness directly increases defects, rework and yield losses. Surclean offers an engineered portfolio of stencil cleaning materials and chemistries that help manufacturers protect print quality, reduce downtime and lower total operating costs.

Surclean supplies cleaning solutions tailored for every stage of stencil maintenance — from manual spot-cleaning at the printer to fully automated under-stencil and offline cleaning systems. The range includes safer solvent blends engineered for fast, effective residue removal, and lint-free saturated and dry wipes suitable for manual wiping, hand-sprayer applications and automated paper-roll or wipe systems.

Six products covering every stage of stencil maintenance — from bulk liquid solvents to pre-saturated and dry wipe formats.

SC100-1L

SCREENCLEAN 100 STENCIL CLEANER 1L

Fast-acting, low-VOC stencil cleaning solvent in a ready-to-use 1L sprayer.

Screenclean 100 is a fast-acting stencil-cleaning solvent formulated to remove solder paste and most adhesives quickly and effectively. A Propylene Glycol Ether-based formulation, it dissolves and lifts solder paste, adhesives, resins and rosins quickly — even when residues have dried — and evaporates cleanly with minimal, non-tacky residue. It shows good compatibility with common elastomers, rubbers, industrial finishes and the screen adhesives used on mesh-backed framed stencils.

ES200-5L

ECOSOLVE 200 PERFORMANCE FLUX CLEANER 5L

High-performance solvent blend for stubborn flux deposits and uncured adhesives.

ECOSOLVE 200 is a high-performance solvent blend formulated for demanding precision cleaning tasks in electronics manufacturing and industrial settings. Designed to tackle stubborn residues such as flux deposits and uncured adhesives, ECOSOLVE 200 delivers enhanced solvency compared with conventional isopropyl alcohol (IPA) while maintaining compatibility with most plastics, rubbers and common elastomers.

Specifications

Volume 5 Litres

Format Liquid solvent blend

Evaporation Slower than IPA — extended wet contact time

Compatibility Most plastics, rubbers and elastomers

Superior cleaning power — dissolves heavy residue loadings including rework flux and SMD adhesives
Controlled, slower evaporation gives extended wet contact time for effective brush agitation
Safe for use on almost all common plastics, rubbers and elastomers used in electronics assemblies

Application: Removal of flux residues and white salts from PCBs, elimination of uncured and SMD adhesive residues during rework, and general degreasing and precision cleaning of electronic assemblies and components.

Why It Matters

Engineered for Modern SMT Production

For manufacturers seeking measurable yield improvements, lower operating costs and more sustainable cleaning options, Surclean provides practical, validated solutions you can deploy across the SMT assembly line.

Performance Benefits & Operational Savings

Surclean materials consistently improve PCB yields by removing solder paste, adhesives, flux residues and other process contaminants that degrade print definition and create defects. Improved cleaning reduces the frequency of printer adjustments and downtime, lowers scrap and rework rates, and extends stencil service life.

Meeting the Demands of Complex PCBA Designs

As PCBA designs evolve to smaller track widths and finer pitch components, residues such as flux, resins and microscopic process contaminants become harder to remove and more impactful to assembly yield. Surclean’s products are designed to meet these challenges by rapidly softening and dissolving residues so they can be removed without damaging fine apertures or delicate PCB finishes. Many OEMs and integrators now require incoming assemblies to meet IPC and J-STD cleaning standards, and Surclean chemistries and application methods are compatible with these requirements.

Flexible for Every Cleaning Workflow

Surclean supports every cleaning workflow: bench-top manual wipes and sprays for fast intervention, semi-automated under-stencil systems for inline printer maintenance, and high-throughput offline cleaning for bulk stencil or component processing. The portfolio is formulated to be compatible with common stencil materials, adhesives, rubbers and industrial finishes, enabling safe, repeatable cleaning across a broad set of production environments.
