PCB Cleaner ｜ 7 Key Factors for Choosing the Right Solution in Electronics Industry

Using the wrong PCB cleaner can cause corrosion, short circuits, and higher maintenance costs. This article explains 7 key factors to help electronics factories select the safest and most cost-effective solution.
■ Features and Mechanism
PCB cleaners are specialized chemical solutions designed to remove flux residue, fine dust, oils, and moisture from printed circuit boards. Without proper cleaning, these contaminants can:
・ Change electrical resistance values
・ Cause leakage currents
・ Lead to short circuits and long-term damage
■ Application Use Cases
・ Post-Soldering: Remove flux residue after soldering
・ PCB Assembly: Clean before applying conformal coating
・ Maintenance Work: Used in repair of computers, smartphones, and industrial controllers
・ R&D and Testing Labs: Ensure accurate measurement results
■ Benefits and Effects
・ Reduces risk of short circuits
・ Extends PCB lifespan by preventing corrosion
・ Improves conductivity and stable performance
・ Lowers long-term maintenance costs
・ Strengthens product reliability and quality assurance
■ 7 Factors to Consider When Selecting a PCB Cleaner
1. Cleaner Type — Fast-drying, water-based, lubricating, or non-solvent types
2. Material Compatibility — Avoid damaging PCB laminates, solder joints, or components
3. Chemical Safety — Free from hazardous CFCs, methanol, toluene, or xylene
4. Packaging Form — Spray cans for quick use, bulk liquid for factory lines
5. Work Environment — Low-odor types recommended for enclosed spaces
6. Cost-Effectiveness — Consider price per unit and bulk supply options
7. Compliance with Standards — Ensure RoHS, REACH, and environmental regulation adherence
By carefully evaluating these factors, manufacturers can minimize risks, improve reliability, and optimize production costs.
■ For electronics factories in Thailand, an effective choice is PCB Cleaner “eclean21” from Kaneko Chemical (Thailand). It offers multiple safe formulations—fast-drying, water-based, and non-solvent—ensuring PCB protection while maintaining efficient and economical operations.
