Quick question, how are you measuring the effectiveness of the cleaning process to remove the flux?

I suspect the problem is a surfactant issue in your flux. I have seen where boards are fluxed, hit the solder fountain and come out like they never touched the solder. There was an inadequate surfactant between the solder and the PCB. I know you

Took your advice Sara, and did contact PK. Got a data sheet that says "no residue on boards or components". But not done with concerns just yet - for example, if the MS2 becomes thicker and more viscous, what's that doing to my pumps? Unfortunately n

Tim, try and incorporate an inline wash system. We use one with a surfactant and it cleans the "NO CLEAN" fluxes well. If you dont have an inline system, you can manual clean the boards with an surfactant and IPA. You can also do an ionic contamin

A surfactant (AKA detergent) is great for OA flux removal applications. It has a good surface tension reducing property and is more easily rinsed than soaps. If using a soap or surfactant, be sure that you choose one that has a good de-foaming pack

This phenomenon is caused by a high amount of halogens (Cl, Br etc.) used in the flux activators or in the flux surfactants. We've seen effects creating all colors of the rainbow. Changing to No-Clean (halide-free) will eliminate this color effect.
