Dear Sanjay, An important issue involved when stencil printing adhesives vs. solder paste is: How do you clean the stencils after printing? Do you need two machines? Two chemistries? Two waste streams? What are the potential environmental impacts and user hazards?
Smart Sonic has a Stencil Cleaner that will resolve both solder paste and adhesive cleaning issues, the Model 2003 has two separate wash tanks, one operates at ambient temperature for safe cleaning all types of solder paste and one tank is heated to 120 degrees F. for cleaning all types of SMD adhesives. No potential cross contamination of adhesive residue onto a solder paste stencil. Both use the same non-hazardous chemistry, 440-R SMT Detergent. And, the process is certified environmental and user safe and effective by the EPA and AQMD!

| Sirs, | | What are the issues involved when a stencil printer is used for printing solder paste and adhesive? | | UV-curing of adhesive appears to help reduce slump and spread by forming a tough skin on the adhesive blob deposited on the PCB. Is this process fairly common? Does someone have further inputs on this procedure? | | Thanks, have a nice day. |
