PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

LOCTITE

SF 7360™ provides the following product

characteristics:

Technology Solvent cleaner

Chemical Type Aliphatic ester blend

Appearance Clear colorless solution

LMS

Viscosity Very low

Cure Not applicable

Application Solvent for uncured SM adhesives

LOCTITE

SF 7360™ is a non-CFC, low odor, solvent based

formulation intended for the removal of uncured adhesive and

adhesive residues used in the PCB assembly industry. The

solvent is fully compatible with epoxy adhesives and will not

cause hardening during soaking. LOCTITE

SF 7360™ is

recommended for cleaning of stencils, screens and dispensing

nozzles used to apply surface mount adhesives and for

removal of adhesives from misprinted circuit boards.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE

LOCTITE

SF 7360™ has no effect on the speed of cure or

final strength of LOCTITE

adhesives other than providing a

clean surface for good adhesion and adhesive cure. Unclean

or partially cleaned surfaces can affect adhesive performance.

The solvent is fully compatible with commonly used solder

resists.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen

and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected

with a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing

materials.

For safe handling information on this product, consult the

Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Directions for use:

It is advisable to use protective clothing to avoid contact with

the solvent and adhesive. The low volatility of this solvent

makes it ideal for open reservoirs but does mean that it

requires drying by cloth or compressed air.

Cleaning Dispenser Needles & Components - using spray

can with extension tube and tip

1. The simplest and most effective cleaning is to "jet spray"

the uncured adhesive out of the needle bore by ensuring

a snug fit between the tip on the extension tube and the

needle. (The tip can be cut to suit different needle

types).

2. Dry out needle by blowing through bore using dry

compressed air.

3. Check for cleanliness and that no blockage remains.

Using Ultrasonic or Static Bath

1. Uncured adhesive should be mechanically removed as

much as possible by using a blunt tool for any larger

cavities and a drill bit or piano wire of appropriate

diameter for the needle bore. This operation helps

minimize solvent usage.

2. Immerse items to be cleaned in a reservoir of fresh

solvent.

3. If using an ultrasonic bath, set at maximum power for 3

minutes at 40 °C.

4. If using a static bath, use tweezers to agitate the items in

the bath until solvent has become stained due to

removal of adhesive. Rinse in fresh solvent to confirm

cleanliness.

5. For needles with very small bores or cavities it is

recommended to follow with a "jet spray" clean as

previously described.

6. Dry out parts and blow through bore using dry

compressed air.

Cleaning Boards, Stencils, Wiper Blades

1. Apply solvent direct from can to dry lint free cloth, or

spray directly onto adhesive on surface to be cleaned.

2. Wipe away uncured adhesive (one wipe is usually

sufficient).

3. Dry surface with a clean dry cloth.

Note:

● All dispensing parts being cleaned may be left to soak

for several days witout risk of hardening the adhesive or

adversely affecting the material being cleaned.

TDS LOCTITE

SF 7360™, December-2014

● While the solvent has been checked for compatibility

with materials commonly used in PCB assembly, certain

plastics or coatings may be affected and should be

checked for compatibility before use.

● Needle blockages due to cured or partially cured

adhesive should be cleared using a drill bit before

solvent cleaning.
