HMC Electronics 5768G Kester Flux Residue Cleaner, Bio-Kleen User Manual
Page 2
Cleaning:
Deionized water is recommended for the wash solution and rinse tank section of in-line spray cleaning
equipment. Use of hard or high mineral content tap water will reduce cleaning efficiency and cause scale
build up in the cleaning equipment. There will also be increased consumption of Kester 5768 because the
saponifier will react with the minerals in hard tap water.
Disposal:
Kester 5768 does not contain phosphates, dichromates, caustic soda, inorganic salts, terpenes or
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. The spent cleaning solution is biodegradable. However, the water may
contain some lead. Local regulations should be consulted for limitations on such factor as pH, solids
content, COD level and metals percentage.
Storage and Shelf Life:
Shelf life is 2 years from date of manufacture when handled properly and held at 10-25°C (50-77°F).
Health & Safety:
This product, during handling or use, may be hazardous to health or the environment. Read the Material
Safety Data Sheet and warning label before using this product.
