I'm not sure that would be valid. My understanding was that solids were trapped by other non-active flux residue. Which is why you can leave them on and why you see white residue after washing. I think the ROSE test would release particles that woul

Yes it's definately possible to have too much flux. You'll see a white residue film on the board. In the past we have had hipot issues cause of too much flux residue ,left on the boards. You defininately don't want to be using a no clean flux and sti

We are in the early stages of converting al of our customers to No-Clean solder. I expect some customers to have no objections, others I am sure will be concerned about the "residue." I know that chemistries have improved greatly and if the process i

We'd guess that your white residue on the solder is from minerals in the supply water. We expect the levels of these minerals that you see: * Vary depending on the season. Check with your public water authority for anaylsis. [Recognize that this ma

Hi Radek, Thanks for your reply. I use this flux with manual soldering process for the product. Is this flux suitable for manual soldering? or it is only for wave soldering? I have sent the board for analysis, and the report shown that the white res

60° C). Moreover (by IPC standard)... "White residues resulting from no-clean or other processes are acceptable provided the residues from chemistries used have been qualified and documented as benign...". So, use an EDX or IC analysis in order to

Casimir, I have seen exactly what you are experiencing with the Kester 958 on other wave lines. No clean fluxes vary in how much flux residue is visually left behind. These no clean residues are typically not harmful to the PCB, but they are often

We intend to use VOC free fluxe in our nytro machine. Does anybody know if there can be problems with water ie. solvent residues in the tunnel. Perhaps there are some white papers available on that issue.
