If its No Clean try Alpha, we compared and Alpha was better

All major solder manufacturers [ie, Alpha, Kester, AIM, etc.] will be pleased to discuss this with you.

Larry, My lines are running ENTEK boards all the while. Currently, we used Kester R-252 solder paste. We found voids! Now we are evaluating the Alpha Metal UP78-M. I've been told that the better flux due solve the voids problem, especially whe

I recently purchased a cleaner. I have made great efforts to find a Flux that will not cause this closed loop cleaner to foam. The last was a Neutral WS flux from Alpha Metals but it still foams. This foaming is happening after wave solder.

We too had a problem with the WS609. We have since switched to Alpha's WS619 (same formula with an anti-foaming agent) This really helped but we still monitor flux application and try to minimize wherever possible. Chris

Hello Steve We use Alpha/Fry metal reclamation. They are happy to take the paste as long as is kept segregated. They pay if it's over 300 pounds. California contact: Patricia Mealey 949/364-6741

I'd heard that Alpha did paste reclamation but just assumed they only offered the service for customers using their paste. Hmmmm, it's worth a call, anyway. Thanks for the contact.

Personally I would go for one alloy it just makes it all simple to control. I have only used tin/silver and tin/copper so far with good process results. Reflow is relatively straightforward, I have had more shorts with wave on tin/copper. To date I
