"This is the best chemical we have ever used"
"Vitrex produces the shiniest solder joints I have ever seen"

Vitrex AT200 is a specially designed aqueous amine blend designed for optimum performance on reflowed solder pastes (no-clean, rosin, lead-free), tacky fluxes, and uncured adhesives.  Unlike other chemistries that produce dull solder joints, Vitrex AT200 produces exceptionally brilliant (shinny) surfaces. Vitrex AT200 is an “all temperature” product, providing effective cleaning results at operating temperatures between 100^oF–160^oF (37^oC - 71^oC).  Vitrex AT200 is a non-flammable, low VOC, low-foam, non-corrosive chemical.  Vitrex AT200 is extremely cost effective with no sump-side additives required and a long bath life.

Compatibility:
Vitrex AT200 is multi-metal safe for use on yellow metals, aluminum, ferrous and composites in addition to most precious metals. It is safe to use with PVDF, Kalrez®, Teflon and ceramic elastomers and filters, while it is best used in polypropylene or stainless equipment.

Hints for Successful Use:

• Effective at all-temperatures, performance is optimum at 115-135°F.

• Vitrex AT200 should be used as received (100%) when used with ultrasonics.

• For a mirror finish on your solder bumps, rinse with deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water.

• Dry parts with hot or circulating air.

• Concentration, temperature and time should be optimized for the parts and equipment involved.

• Lead-free and high temp. re-flow soils may require higher concentrations for optimum effectiveness.

Rinsing and Drying:

• • Use deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water to minimize dendridic growth.

• • Keep rinses fresh, monitoring by conductivity or resistivity. Recycle.

• • Inspect nozzles and equipment regularly. Repair and maintain as needed.

Bath Life:
Bath life studies show high loading capacity. This equates to long tank life, low maintenance costs and reduced waste generation and chemical consumption.

Maintenance Methods:
Vitrex AT200 concentration should be monitored and maintained on a routine and regular basis depending on tank use. Aqueous Technologies can assist you with this. Best results are obtained with a digital refractometer available from Aqueous Technologies.

Environmental, Health and Safety:
Vitrex AT200 is a biodegradable aqueous solution with less than 50 g/L VOC at 7.5%. It contains no CFC’s or HAP’s. It is non-flammable and non-corrosive. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for more information.
