KakenClean Specialized Cleaning Solutions for SMT Production Lines: Safe, High-Speed & Effective
In the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) manufacturing process, burnt-on flux residues accumulating inside reflow ovens and wave soldering machines are a primary cause of reduced heat transfer efficiency, air system clogging, and direct degradation of PCB solder joint quality. Using traditional IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) not only yields limited cleaning effectiveness but also poses high explosion hazards and risks to workers' health due to its toxic, pungent odor. The optimal solution trusted by leading global electronics manufacturers today is the water-based flux cleaner series from KAKEN TECH (Japan). Established in 1966, KAKEN TECH CO., LTD. is a Japanese pioneer in researching and manufacturing high-tech cleaning agents for the electronics industry. Serving over 1,000 corporate clients globally and committing 10% of its annual revenue to R&D, KAKEN TECH continuously innovates its cleaning chemical lines to meet the strictest standards for efficiency, component compatibility, and environmental safety in modern SMT lines.

Thành lập từ năm 1966, KAKEN TECH CO., LTD. là tập đoàn tiên phong của Nhật Bản trong lĩnh vực nghiên cứu và sản xuất các chất tẩy rửa kỹ thuật cao cho ngành công nghiệp điện tử. Với hơn 1.000 khách hàng doanh nghiệp toàn cầu và định hướng dành 10% doanh thu hàng năm cho hoạt động R&D, KAKEN TECH liên tục cải tiến các dòng hóa chất làm sạch nhằm đáp ứng những tiêu chuẩn khắt khe nhất về hiệu suất, tính tương thích linh kiện và độ an toàn môi trường trong dây chuyền SMT hiện đại.
1. Pallet & Reflow Oven Cleaning Series: DF Series (Vs. Traditional IPA)
The KakenClean DF-Series (featuring flagship products like KakenClean DF-555U and KakenClean DF-99U) consists of water-based industrial cleaning agents designed specifically for SMT equipment such as carrier pallets/soldering fixtures, flux condensers, and conveyor chains.
Key advantages of the DF Series compared to traditional IPA:
-
3x Solving Power: Rapidly breaks down oxidized rosin structures and burnt-on flux residues, cutting maintenance and cleaning time by 50%.
-
Absolute Safety – No Flash Point: Unlike IPA, which has a very low flash point (~12°C), the DF Series has a boiling point above 100°C and no flash point, making it completely safe to clean even when the oven is still hot.
-
Eco-Friendly & Worker Safe: Free from hazardous halogenated solvents and aromatic compounds (Toluene, Xylene), featuring a mild odor to safeguard operator health.
2. Metal Mask Cleaning Series: HA Series
In the solder paste printing process, cleaning stencils/metal masks plays a decisive role in achieving precise micro-solder joints.
KAKEN TECH's HA Series is specifically formulated for this application:
-
Thorough Solder Paste & Adhesive Removal: Completely removes solder paste residues and mounting adhesives trapped in tiny aperture openings of metal masks.
-
High Material Compatibility: Non-corrosive and does not deform metal surfaces, mesh screens, or stencil frame adhesives.
-
Optimized for Automated & Manual Cleaning: Performs exceptionally well in automated metal mask cleaning machines (spray or ultrasonic) as well as during manual wiping.
3. Flux Residue Cleaning for Printed Circuit Boards: WS-923U
After reflow or wave soldering, removing flux residues remaining on PCBs is essential for high-reliability electronic products.
WS-923U is a specialized flux cleaning solution offering distinct advantages:
-
High Solubility: Powerfully dissolves flux residues trapped deep within small components and micro-parts.
-
Improved Work Efficiency: Features higher flux solubility and faster drying times than traditional IPA, significantly boosting operational throughput.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Safe formulation containing no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or ethane.
-
Good Part Durability: Carefully engineered considering the solvent resistance of surface-mounted components to prevent damage or corrosion.
