ASM DEK 431514 Pro XF Understencil Cleaner, 5 Liter, Case of 1
ASM DEK 431514 Pro XF Understencil Cleaner, 5 Liter, Case of 1
ASM DEK 431514 is the 5-liter format of DEK Pro XF understencil cleaning agent for SMT stencil-printing processes. ASMPT's English product brochure lists Pro XF for vacuum printers and describes it as a low-VOC formulation with no flash point. This listing supplies one 5-liter container.
DEK Pro XF is designed specifically for understencil cleaning to support print-process performance. ASMPT states that it does not affect solder-paste thixotropic properties, is residue-free after evaporation, and helps reduce the risk of solder slump and solder balling. Pro XF is a distinct formulation from standard DEK Pro; confirm the approved chemistry for your printer and process before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with ASM 431514?
This listing supplies one 5-liter container of DEK Pro XF understencil cleaning agent. The manufacturer brochure associates DEK number 431514 with SAP reference 03126194.
Is Pro XF the same cleaner as standard DEK Pro?
No. Pro XF and standard Pro are separate formulations. The manufacturer describes XF as low VOC with no flash point, while standard Pro has a 67°C flash point. Confirm the specified chemistry before switching.
Can this product be used on non-vacuum printers or for manual cleaning?
The English manufacturer brochure reviewed lists Pro XF for vacuum printers. Do not assume non-vacuum or manual-cleaning compatibility from the standard Pro listing; obtain confirmation for your intended equipment and method.
Does Pro XF affect solder paste or leave residue?
ASMPT states that Pro XF does not affect solder-paste thixotropic properties and is residue-free after evaporation. Validate the cleaning cycle and drying conditions with your actual process materials and equipment.
Does low VOC mean zero VOC or no precautions?
No. Low VOC is the manufacturer's qualitative description, not a zero-VOC claim. Follow the current XF safety data sheet and facility procedures for ventilation, protective equipment, handling, storage, and disposal.
Is there a smaller Pro XF container?
Yes. ASMPT's brochure identifies 431513 as the 1-liter Pro XF format and 431514 as the 5-liter format. Check the applicable listing for its sales quantity.
