No clean and RMA, both R0L0. Is it true that RMA type pastes are easier to clean than no-clean?

jdomont, No-cleans are more difficult to clean than RMA�s. Even though no-cleans have a lower solids content than RMA�s, reflow and soldering profiles are normally more severe than those used for RMA. It is interesting to note that our most of our

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cleaning solution used in an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning RMA solder paste off stencils and adhesive off pcb boards. I am going to be evaluating Armakleen 2001, Zestron Vigon SC 200, and Aqueous Technologies

Hi All, We are in the process of converting from RMA solder paste to no-clean process across the shop. This will allow me to carry my semi-aqueous cleaner out of the building and set it ablaze using the terpenes as the fire water. Then I can go ab

I�m using Zestron's Vigon sc 200 in our ultrasonic cleaner. It works great for cleaning our adhevises and pastes (RMA and no clean) from stencils and misprinted PCBs. We used to use a saponifier which did a terrible cleaning job and was a real pain t

Your selections are good, assuming you are talking about cleaning raw paste, rather than reflowed RMA. Maybe add Multicore Prozone, JNJ Aquasonic, and Kyzen Aquanox.

Hello Carl, Thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely right. I was remiss in not addressing the other questions. 2. 440-R SMT Detergent will clean RMA and No-clean solder pastes in 1 � 2 minutes using ultrasonics at ambient temperature and 5

You should check the archives, there has been much written on this subject in the past. Asking about the correct chemistry is wise. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think ultrasonics will work without the proper chemistry. Without the rig

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are
