Hello, I am automating a process on our floor from wire solder hand application to dispensed paste and reflow. The process involves "lidding" a shielding lid around our assemblies for microwave quieting. The result is non-hermetic. For cosmet

Todd, All liquid coatings are Newtonian - they follow gravity so they do indeed run away from sharp leads and edges. Silicones are generally worse because they have very low surface energy - although this is an asset when trying to get under compone

Jeff: Try this: ROSA. John�s spot on. I�ll add that it is a fluxless method that reduces the oxides in an aqueous solution. Another source of information is: Trench, M., Hillman, D., Lucey, G., "Environmentally Friendly Closed Loop Soldering,"

You may want to consider Zestron's Vigon SC200 (703) 589-1198. Many of our customers use this chemical with great success. Another alternative is Hydrex from Petroferm (904) 261-8286. Good Luck, Mike Konrad Aqueous Technologies Corporation

There are aerosol spray on flux removers that contain Trichloroethylene. There are also many other flux removers on the market. Recommend you explore more options. To help get an answer quickly, you can contact Zestron, Kyzen, Petroferm, etc; an

Our latest designs are flip chip on flex based and we have issues with delamination/blistering. We know it is related to our vapor solvent (n-Propyl Bromide based) attacking an inner layer adhesive. Has anyone else ever heard of something like this?

SMTNetters: excellent Forum, keep up the good work all! We are in the process of purchasing a Dek Stencil Cleaner and we have been recommended to use Vigon SC200 solvent to remove Heraeus no-clean solder paste from stencils and mis-printed PCBs. We

Ionic cleanliness is pretty much meaningless, when discussing nc flux residues. If you do the good solder routine and measure the boards, you'll be in the out-house, because the water in your resistivity of solvent extract tester will turn the res o

| Y'all: IPC set-up a site addressing the environmental issues of the printed circuit fabrication industry. Some of it is interesting and applicable to the assembly business as well, even though not aimed directly at assemblers. IPC has recently t

| Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O t
