THE MOST EFFECTIVE AGENT FOR REMOVAL OF SILICONE

The Most Effective Agent for Removal of Silicone

OUR STORY

Our R&D team developed a new cleaning agent, which was given the name Proton® 705.

Development was focused on even more effective cleaning of silicone than with Proton® 703, which is really eco-friendly on the other hand. Our team strived for better time results with higher
cleanliness of the components.

We have tested removal of silicone materials from several different surfaces using our new product Proton® 705. The following case study is based on real testing in our laboratory, however, Proton® 705 has been already used at the customer as well and the excellent functionality has been proven even in real.

What we Tested?

Types of Cleaned Components:

Coating frames

PCBs

Components of coating machines

All components were polluted by silicone-based conformal coatings, casting compounds or silicone-based adhesives.

BEFORE AND AFTER CLEANING

Recommend Cleaning Solution

For the brilliant results, we recommend using our cleaning agent Proton® 705 in combination with our cleaning system Injet® 888 CRD as this combination has been tested in our DEMO center and it is a highly effective combination for cleaning of silicone materials from many different surfaces.

We believe our complete cleaning solution for the removal of silicone is unique on the market.

Recommended cleaning process

Cleaning

Proton® 705 15–30 min / 45°C / 2,5 bar

1st Rinsing

Decotron® ACW 115 or Proton® R07 5 min / 30°C

2nd Rinsing

DI Water / 5 min / 30°C

Drying

Hot Air / 15–30 min / 60°C

After observation of our R&D team, the given parameters below can be stated as effective in most cases for the removal of silicone.

We recommend first rinsing with Decotron® ACW 115 to remove all residues of Proton® 705 (for aluminum parts) or Proton® R07 (for PCBs).

For the second rinsing, we recommend DI or tap water according to cleanliness requirements.

Technický list

In contrast to Proton 703 and Proton 705, Proton 707 provides even higher dissolution rates and it is active also for most types of polyurethane and acrylic conformal coating

Effective also for flux dissolving, solder alloy corrosion removal

Hydrophilic modification of solder mask depending on the solder mask type – higher surface energy of solder mask provides consecutively better adhesion of coating

Proton® 705 New Cleaning Miracle for Silicone Materials

DCT developed new alcohol-based cleaning agent Proton® 705 which is even more efficient compared to the current cleaning agent Proton® 703.
The reaction kinetics of Proton® 705 is up to 15 times higher, making silicone dissolution much faster.

♥ 15 times faster than Proton® 703
♥ Same substance as Proton® 703 BUT with more suitable solvents
♥ Cleave silicone-oxygen bonds more efficiently
♥ Classification of the mixture is the same as for Proton® 703
♥ Suitable for high-pressure Spray-In-Air and ultrasonic cleaning machines

Cleaning Results

Success rate: 100%

AFTER A PRECISE LABORATORY TEST WE CAN RECOMMEND PROTON® 705 FOR CLEANING OF:
Cured and uncured silicone-based conformal coatings
Silicone-based casting compounds
Silicone-based adhesives from PCBs, coating frames and components of coating machine parts

Please note that all types of components should be tested in our DEMO center before usage of Proton® 705. Proton® 703 has higher
compatibility with metal materials, while Proton® 705 has much higher effectiveness to remove silicone.
