Main features
- Quickly air dries
- Halogen-free formulation
- Non-ionic
Product Description
KESTER 5252M Cleaner is a halogen-free, organic solvent designed for high-performance cleaning in electronics manufacturing and assembly. Environmentally friendly and non-ozone depleting, 5252M offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional chlorinated solvents, especially in applications requiring fast air-drying.
Product Key Features
- Non-ozone depleting
- Halogen-free formulation
- Fast air-drying for time-sensitive cleaning tasks
- Non-ionic and relatively non-toxic with a mild odor
Applications
- Post-soldering flux residue removal from electronic assemblies
Technical Specifications
| General Properties | |
| Specific Gravity Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless. | 0.845 |

| Boiling Point Boiling Point The amount of degree’s needed to reach in order to make the substance boil. | 82 °C |
| Flash Point Flash Point The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor. Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source. | 16 °C |
Additional Information
Application
Usage Instructions
- 5252M may be used at ambient temperature with ultrasonics, stencil spray equipment, immersion agitation, or manual application.
- When the residue has completely dissolved and is no longer visible, rinse off the residual solution with more solvent.
- The goal is not only to dissolve the residue but also to remove it after dissolution.
Drying and Rinsing
- 5252M dries fast and usually does not require a water rinse.
- After cleaning, stencils or electronic assemblies should be dried by evaporation or solvent displacement with forced air.
- For additional cleanliness, a secondary 5252M rinse may be used.
Maintenance
- The bath life of the cleaner solvent depends on cleanliness requirements.
- Replace the solvent at regular intervals to avoid contamination.
