We use Kester 186 flux and the STU people would sometimes find white residue after cleaning with Isopropyl at the solder station. We have Lenium (Petroferm)in our vapor degreasers, and now they use Lenium at their stations as well as final clean, an

We need to clean the RMA flux residue on the PCBAs. The PCBA material is ALuminum base(Gold finish)stacked with Rogers Material PCB.Any solvent recommnedtaions? Is HCFC 141b a good solvent (quality & Price). we need to use vapor degreaser and also do

We already have contact with Zestron and we try several chemicals and process (Immersion, aspersion, vapor degreasing). And we always find something under low standoff component. Concerning the flow pressure and shadowing, we try different position

I guess my question would be why are you getting so much/leaving so much flux on the boards during the select solder process? With a drop-jet fluxer you should be able to apply the flux very selectively and leave a fairly clean looking PCBA, assumin

We are using a spray fluxer. Most of the THT parts are long connectors, so we spray along the length of the connector. I'm sure we can tune it a bit to reduce the amount of flux some. We're still going to need to remove the flux for some of our clien

The problem that we have seen applying NC flux (EF2210) at selective solder is that the flux overspray (relative to the nozzle path) did not see high enough temperature to activate the flux and turn it to a non-conductive, benign residue as one would

We have customers that are requiring no flux residue left on boards after soldering of non-water washable parts. We currently use Multicore Crystal 502 No-Clean to solder parts that are not washable. Has anyone come up with a good way to remove this

You may have answered your own question. CHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY depending on what type and whos product will work differently for each machine and Board geometry. I would ask Kyzen, Pertoferm, Zestron, and Aqueous Tech (all Chemistry manuf

I am going to open the flood gates of comments. The purpose of no clean is so you do not have to clean it. Yes I am aware of no cleans that you can clean. If you need to clean the boards use a water soluble paste. If you do not clean, no clean prop

I am looking for a methods to clean boards built with a "No-Clean" flux but the boards have non-hermetically sealed parts on them, therefore they cannot be exposed to an semi-aqueous process (what I typically use). These boards will be built in large
