Chemtronics Chemask Aqua - Water Removable CMAQ1 - Manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Chemask

Aqua is a high temperature
temporary spot mask that protects
component-free areas from molten solder
during wave soldering. It is water soluble,
designed to be removed with open and
closed loop aqueous cleaning systems.
Chemask

Aqua is low foaming and has no
effect on deionized water (DI) system resin
beds. This water soluble formulation is
stable to rosin, organic and inorganic fluxes.

COMPATIBILITY
Chemask

Aqua Solder Masking Agent is
generally compatible with most materials
used in printed circuit board fabrication. As
with
any solder masking agent,
compatibility with substrate must be
determined on a non-critical area prior to
use.
