A High Speed Dry Film Photoresist Stripper
RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) is designed to strip certain difficult to remove dry film photoresists quickly, thoroughly and economically. RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) is based on a new technology that combines speed with long life giving sustained high performance stripping not seen in previous stripping technology. RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) will strip over-plated fine line and space circuit boards completely throughout its stripping life. As with all RD Chemical photoresist strippers, adhesion promoters are thoroughly removed, and the stripped board is oxidation-free and ready for oxide or etching. RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) contains inhibitors that prevent redeposition of Tin on the Copper, which can inhibit etching of outer layers. RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) will tend to give smaller, but filterable particle sizes. Exact particle size is dependent upon the photoresist being stripped.MAKE-UP:
Use RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) at 10 - 20% by volume.
OPERATION:
RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) may be used in soak or spray. Use at 120° F, or higher, for best results. Higher temperatures give higher strip rates, but also result in greater digestion of the stripped resist particles. If a defoamer is required, use Defoamer A (RD-28).
CONTROL:
A titration procedure is available, but stripper performance is much more affected by pH, than titratable alkalinity. Control is preferably accomplished by monitoring pH, then replenishing to maintain minimum pH.
EQUIPMENT:
Steel, titanium or polypropylene are recommended. PVC may be attacked at higher temperatures and concentrations. Quartz heaters may be used.
SAFETY:
Exercise caution when handling. RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) contains strong alkaline ingredients. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing when using. Eye protection (goggles or a full-face shield) is required. Consult Material Safety Data Sheet for further information.
DISPOSAL:RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) may contain dissolved heavy metals and chelates. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. Contact your RD Chemical representative for further information.
PACKAGING:
RESISTRIP™ SP (RDZ-1398) is supplied in 55 gallon drums.
