Overview
Aculon® NanoClear® is an ultrathin (2–4 nanometers), monolayer flux-repellent coating designed to be applied to SMT stencil aperture walls to provide a nonstick surface with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. NanoClear® promotes paste-release efficiency and print quality of technology assemblies by reducing the variation and risk of cracks, flakes, or chips.
This best-in-class surface treatment can be applied quickly and easily to the bottom side and aperture walls of stencils in an ultrathin coat less than 5 nanometers, so as not to alter the aperture size or foil thickness of the stencil. By minimizing the need for frequent cleaning, Aculon® NanoClear® also increases printing cycles, minimizes downtime, and reduces the stencil wiping and cleaning frequency of assemblies, ultimately improving throughput and reducing cost.

How to Apply NanoClear® Wipes?
The NanoClear® SMT stencil is provided in a dual-wipe system for optimal application and should be applied with the following steps:
1. Ensure the SMT stencil is visibly clean and degreased
2. Open Part A cleaner, and scrub the bottom of the SMT stencil for approximately 60 seconds with heavy pressure
3. Rinse with flowing deionized (DI) water until the cleaner is thoroughly removed (tap water will work, but DI is preferred)
4. Dry SMT stencil after water rinse
5. Open Part B cleaner, and scrub the bottom of the SMT stencil for approximately 60 seconds with heavy pressure
6. Dry with a clean room wipe for approximately 60 seconds, and check for water beading for accurate surface application
