SmartSonic VOC-Free Stencil Cleaning Chemistry is One and Only
Canoga Park, CA — Smart Sonic’s 440-R® SMT Detergent is reportedly the only VOC-free stencil cleaning chemistry available. All other
Key signs or symptoms associated with exposure to VOCs include con- junctival irritation, nose and throat discomfort, headache, allergic skin reaction, dyspnea, declines in serum cholinesterase levels, nausea, eme- sis, epistaxis, fatigue, dizziness. Some manufacturers merely
mix VOC solvents into water to give the appearance of a “water-based” chemistry. Users should always insist suppliers provide full disclo- sure of VOCs and other hazardous materials on MSDS and Technical Data Sheets as full disclosure of VOC
data is not mandatory, thus allowing manufacturers to avoid the issue of VOCs and use such unregulated claims as “environmentally safe,” “biodegradable,” “water-based” and “low VOCs” to help bolster sales. 440-R SMT Detergent elimi-
nates all of these VOC concerns because it is VOC-free. In addition to being VOC-free, 440-R SMT Deter - gent is the only Stencil Cleaning Chemistry that is: verified for envi- ronmental safety, user safety and cleaning efficiency by the U.S. EPA’s Environmental Technology Verifica -
tion (ETV) Program; able to clean all solder pastes introduced since 1985; approved by Permali for cleaning Durostone pallets; guaranteed to clean any type of solder paste from
any fine-pitch aperture. Contact: Smart Sonic Corp.,

VOC-free SMT detergent.
chemistries designed for cleaning sol- der paste from SMT stencils contain hazardous VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Because VOCs con- tribute to Global Warming, smog and health problems, VOCs are highly regulated and targeted for stronger regulation by the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) and the Environ - mental Protection Agency (EPA). According to the EPA’s report, “An Introduction to Indoor Air Quality”, VOCs can cause “Eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches, loss of coordination, nausea; damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system.” Some organics can cause cancer
in animals; some are suspected or known to cause cancer in humans.
