Keep Your Jet Printer Running Smoothly with Interflux® Purgel

Posted by JMac on May 14th 2025

Jet printing technology has revolutionized the way manufacturers apply solder paste in high-precision applications. But like any advanced equipment, jet printers require consistent maintenance to perform at their best. That’s where Interflux® Purgel comes in — a high-performance cleaning gel developed specifically for solder paste jetting systems.

At Midwest Tech, we’re proud to offer Interflux Purgel (M07-PURGEL-30CC) — now available for purchase for $76.50.

Why Use Interflux Purgel?

If you're using a jet printer in your electronics manufacturing process, here are seven compelling reasons to make Purgel part of your routine maintenance:

  1. Powerful Nozzle Cleaning

Purgel effectively removes dried solder paste and particulate buildup around the nozzle, one of the most common causes of jetting issues. It ensures optimal jetting performance and helps extend the life of your printhead.

  1. Safe for Sensitive Equipment

Unlike aggressive solvents, Purgel is non-corrosive and chemically stable. It's safe to use on internal components like seals, O-rings, and other delicate parts of the printer.

  1. Reduces Downtime

By preventing clogging and build-up, Purgel helps avoid unexpected maintenance issues. That means fewer interruptions and more time focused on production.

  1. Consistent Jetting Quality

A clean nozzle means more reliable droplet size and placement, ensuring high-quality solder deposits — especially important in fine-pitch or high-density assemblies.

  1. Easy to Apply

Packaged in a convenient 30cc syringe, Purgel is easy to apply manually or through automated cleaning cycles depending on your printer model.

  1. Protects Your Investment

Routine use of Purgel can help prevent premature wear and reduce the need for costly repairs or component replacements.

  1. Versatile Compatibility

Whether you’re using Mycronic, Essemtec, or another solder jetting system, Purgel integrates seamlessly into most maintenance routines.
