Vapor Degreasing System
Vapor SUI Precision Vapor Degreasing System
Vapor SUI is a precision vapor degreasing system for removing oils, flux residues, fingerprints, handling contamination, and process soils from high-reliability electronic assemblies, semiconductor packages, RF modules, optics, and precision components.
Vapor SUI — precision vapor degreasing for critical electronics and component cleaning workflows
Process Purpose
Clean Critical Components Without Water Residue or Manual Solvent Variability
Vapor degreasing uses heated solvent vapor that condenses on cooler parts, dissolves contamination, and carries residues away as the condensate drains from the component. For complex geometries, tight gaps, packages, fixtures, and high-value assemblies, this controlled cleaning process can deliver more repeatable results than manual wiping or open-bench solvent cleaning.
Best-Fit Applications
Where Vapor SUI Fits in Electronics Manufacturing
Semiconductor Packages
Supports precision cleaning before inspection, coating, bonding, packaging, or downstream assembly steps where residues can affect reliability or yield.
RF & Microwave Modules
Helps remove contamination that can affect electrical performance, bond quality, solderability, coating adhesion, or long-term module reliability.
Aerospace & Defense Electronics
Supports process-controlled cleaning for high-reliability electronics programs that cannot rely on inconsistent manual cleaning methods.
Common Contamination Targets
- Flux residue and soldering process soils
- Oils, greases, and machining residues
- Fingerprints and handling contamination
- Light particulate and FOD-related contamination
- Pre-coating and pre-inspection cleanliness requirements
- Residues in small gaps, leads, cavities, and package features
Why Engineers Consider Vapor Degreasing
- Fast drying compared with many aqueous cleaning workflows
- Effective cleaning around complex geometries
- Lower risk of trapped water in sensitive assemblies
- Improved repeatability compared with manual IPA wiping
- Useful for high-value, reliability-sensitive components
- Can fit production, lab, prototype, and specialty cleaning cells
