ASM DEK 431513 Pro XF Understencil Cleaner, 1 Liter, Case of 12
ASM DEK 431513 Pro XF Understencil Cleaner, 1 Liter, Case of 12
ASM DEK 431513 is the 1-liter format of DEK Pro XF understencil cleaning agent for SMT stencil-printing processes. This listing supplies a case of twelve 1-liter containers, totaling 12 liters. It offers the XF formulation in smaller individual containers rather than the 5-liter format.
ASMPT's English product brochure lists DEK Pro XF for vacuum printers and describes it as low VOC with no flash point. Designed specifically for understencil cleaning, it supports print-process performance without affecting solder-paste thixotropic properties. The manufacturer describes the chemistry as residue-free after evaporation and designed to reduce the risk of solder slump and solder balling.
Best Uses / Applications
- Understencil cleaning on compatible vacuum-equipped SMT stencil printers.
- Electronics assembly processes specifying DEK Pro XF rather than standard DEK Pro.
- Facilities selecting the manufacturer's low-VOC XF chemistry for an approved vacuum-printer cleaning process.
- Production teams purchasing Pro XF in multiple 1-liter containers instead of a single larger container.
Key Features
- DEK Pro XF chemistry identified by DEK part number 431513.
- Manufacturer-described low-VOC formulation with no flash point.
- Vacuum-printer application listed in the English manufacturer brochure.
- Designed not to affect solder-paste thixotropic properties.
- Residue-free after evaporation, according to ASMPT.
- Case format: twelve containers, each holding 1 liter.

DEK Pro XF and Standard Pro Comparison
| Option | Container volume | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Pro XF 431513, this product | 1 liter | This listing is a case of twelve; XF formulation for vacuum printers per English brochure. |
| Pro XF 431514 | 5 liters | Larger container of XF chemistry; check its listing for sales quantity. |
| Standard Pro 173483 / 173485 / 431093 | 1 / 5 / 20 liters respectively | Separate chemistry with a 67°C flash point; English brochure lists vacuum and non-vacuum printers and manual cleaning. |
Do not apply standard Pro's density, pH, flash point, or broader cleaning-method listing to XF without XF-specific documentation. Confirm the required formulation with the equipment manufacturer and validated process. Low VOC does not mean zero VOC, and no flash point is not a blanket safety classification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this listing for one container or twelve?
This listing supplies twelve 1-liter containers of DEK Pro XF, totaling 12 liters per case. It is not a single 1-liter purchase unit.
How does 431513 differ from 431514?
Both are DEK Pro XF. The manufacturer identifies 431513 as the 1-liter format and 431514 as the 5-liter format. This 431513 listing is sold as a case of twelve containers.
Can it be used with non-vacuum printers or for manual cleaning?
The English brochure reviewed lists Pro XF for vacuum printers. Obtain manufacturer confirmation for other cleaning methods rather than assuming the standard Pro application list also applies to XF.
Is Pro XF interchangeable with standard DEK Pro?
Do not assume interchangeability. XF is separately described as low VOC with no flash point, while standard Pro has a 67°C flash point. Confirm chemistry, equipment compatibility, and process requirements before changing products.
Does Pro XF leave residue or affect solder paste?
ASMPT describes Pro XF as residue-free after evaporation and states that it does not affect solder-paste thixotropic properties. Validate the cleaning cycle and drying conditions with your actual paste, stencil, and printer.
What handling instructions should be followed?
Use the current Pro XF safety data sheet, equipment instructions, and facility procedures for protective equipment, ventilation, storage, handling, and disposal. Do not infer a dilution ratio, dwell time, or cleaning-cycle setting from this listing.
