Why SAFE STRIP for Circuit Board Cleaning?
Recent interest in EcoLink’s SAFE STRIP product has highlighted its effectiveness at stripping conformal coatings, such as Dymax Multi-Cure® 984 LVUF and HumiSeal® 1B73, from PCB’s (printed circuit boards). These electronic circuit boards are developed for ruggedized displays to be used in multiple industries (Military, air traffic controlling, marine equipment,etc). Are you interested in cleaning electronics on FR4 grade boards, for use in LED and LCD displays? Your search is at an end! While often cited for its use in paint removal/clean-up, we are reminded of how SAFE STRIP can be a desirable and effective cleaning solvent for many applications.

SAFE STRIP is Potent on Conformal Coatings
Our SAFE STRIP product is potent on all types of coatings, both cured and uncured. Through a single-step removal process, SAFE STRIP eliminates residue from tougher solutions like high-solids epoxy and polyurethane resin. Usage can range from a simple wipe on, rinse off to cleaning electronics such as PCBs in a parts washer with ultrasonics. Heat may be applied, up to 140°F, for faster results.
The “SAFE” in SAFE STRIP, No More “MEK”
SAFE STRIP gains appeal when seen as an environmentally friendly cleaning solvent. Compared to its peers using Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), SAFE STRIP has a much lower Inhalation Hazard Index in addition to the following environmental and safety features:
- Biodegradable
- Low VOC emissions
- Non-flammable
SAFE STRIP is Versatile and Environmentally Friendly
SAFE STRIP is recyclable and may be vacuum distilled or decanted to clean for reuse. Having a reusable solvent not only provides more bang for your buck, but adds to its benefit as a strong performing and environmentally preferred solvent. You might also take a look at our new product, SAFE STRIP G, which is a gel formulation that can adhere to vertical and overhead surfaces for residue removal.
