The Aquavator� Stencil Wiping Fabric is set to revolutionize the industry, offering a new development within the science of automatic stencil cleaning and providing numerous benefits over existing technology. The Aquavator� is the perfect solution for the working environment; all the operator needs to do is �Add Water� - this eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals that are both detrimental to the air around the workplace and potentially flammable; all that is required is simple tap water.
The Aquavator� is the only stencil wiping fabric that is truly ESD, eliminating the static build up caused by traditional fabrics that sit alongside valuable circuit boards. It exploits harmless cleaning agents which are embedded through ESD fibers to aggressively clean the stencil. The cleaning agent is activated by the water that cuts through solder paste with ease. This breakthrough in stencil cleaning technology is not only safer for the working environment, but also safer for the stencil. And the benefits don�t stop there, by eliminating harmful chemicals there are no more concerns of spills, high costs in toxic chemicals, explosions, VOC issues, transportation difficulties and just as important - no shelf life worries.
Another significant benefit with The Aquavator� is it provides the perfect solution for lead-free manufacture. Lead-free paste is more difficult to clean, and a more aggressive cleaning surface is necessary. The unique fiber composition of The Aquavator� stencil wiping fabric is conducive to cleaning and collecting the weakened solder paste between the crevices of its fibrous network, eliminating the tendency to push and smear. Its thick, course multi oriented fibers scrape and plow solder paste reaching areas many traditional wipes cannot reach.
The fiber composition of The Aquavator� is also designed to provide the highest possible porosity. This enables maximum utilization of the vacuum system on screen printers, resulting in extremely efficient removal of solder paste from stencil apertures. Unlike traditional stencil wipe technology, that can turn to mush when wet and leave behind harmful residues, The Aquavator� uses larger, stronger, ESD fibers that are held together with a strong linked copolymer.
The Aquavator� can be used on virtually any size roll for any automatic screen printer.
