Wash-Aways™ Dissolvable Spacers

Multi-Seals Wash-Aways™ are organic polymer spacers that dissolve in hot water or alcohol. These spacers locate and reinforce PCB components during soldering operations. After soldering is complete, Wash-Aways dissolve in most water or alcohol solvent baths that remove solder flux. Dissolved Wash-Aways leave uniform spacing between components and boards, which provides free circulation of air, mechanical protection, optimum filleting, and greater accessibility for inspection, cleaning, and conformal coating.

Wash-Aways are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate a variety of components, including transistors, capacitors, potentiometers, integrated circuits, and other components used in PCB assembly. Wash-Aways contain no ionizable material, salts, sugars, metals, or soaps, and they are non-corrosive, non-conductive, and non-toxic.
