An Ultrafast One-Step Tin/Lead Stripper for Immersion or Spray Applications
ChemStrip TL (RD-52) is a high speed, stabilized, high capacity tin/lead stripper designed for the stripping of either tips or whole boards. Specifically formulated to provide effective stripping when used in an immersion/soak application, or in automatic top plating machines.ChemStrip TL is inhibited against decomposition due to dissolved heavy metals; no more "charge today and dump tomorrow" syndrome. A full bath life can be expected based on the amount of metal dissolved, not length of time in service. ChemStrip TL (RD-52)works quickly and effectively without harming the copper substrate and without leaving difficult-to-rinse residues on the boards. A final rinse after stripping leaves boards free of tarnish and ready for further processing.
MAKE-UP:
Use as received. Do not dilute. No mixing is necessary.
OPERATION:
