PCB Chemicals

Seno Applicators

The Seno applicators offer a safe, clean and efficient alternative to processing in trays. Each applicator contains safe ready to use PCB chemistry. All work at room temperature, the chemistry being completely sealed in a container terminated by a sponge with a valve mechanism which dispenses precisely the right amount on each board. When not in use the sponge is protected by a cap. All applicators are waste free and when exhausted can be disposed of without the need for any special precautions. Each applicator contains safe to use chemistry and there is no need for special precautions when using them. The developers for instance being totally free from Sodium Hydroxide. Each applicator has a shelf life of at least two years. With the exception of etching the complete range of PCB processing sequence can be carried out with the applicators.

 

SN100 Photoresist applicator. Easy to apply, very quick drying positive working Photoresist for applying to uncoated laminates.
SN110 A universal developer applicator which develops all alkaline positive working resists.
SN111 Soft developer. As SN110 but weaker in strength making it ideal for use with freshly applied resists such as that contained in the SN100.
SN120 Resist strip applicator, quickly removes all remaining Photoresist from etched boards.
SN130 De-Ox applicator, removes all oxidisation from the etched copper circuit.
SN140 A flux applicator which applies a protective lacquer to a clean etched circuit, preventing any further oxidisation. Lacquer also acts as an excellent solder flux.
