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

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.

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

As I mentioned in the previous string we are happy with Electrolube "SSS". The guy who built our ulrasonic cleaners recommended it and it works very well. You don't have to change tanks or machines for a switch from paste to adhesive. It doesn't leav

Can you tell me a little bit about the Zestron product. How many stencils do you clean and much Zestron do you use per month? What is the cost? Do you mix it with water? If so, what temperature? How do you get rid of the waste? Thanks. Kerry

5 stencils/day. Not sure of the cost, it is high, but I only use a little each month so it is cheaper than the 50+ gallons I was dumping out each month of the old stuff. Mix it with water and use at room temp (don�t have any eaters).Don�t create any

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

Hi Soza: As Dave F mentioned, there are lot of factors involving the formation of residue, after cleaning. Factors, (such as: solvent's cleaning power, presence of metal oxides, type of soldering flux, etc...). One thing pretty sure, IPC is usually

Dear sir, I have a problem to find the new chemical solution instead IPA(isopropyl alcohol) to eliminate contamination on the test pin socket board made from copper that plate with nickle and gold. And after the often testing IC process, the co
