I was able to get free samples from both Kyzen and Zestron to compare. I would recommend you do the same since your conditions and expectations are unique. Jerry

Don't know about the savings over Kyzen, but from my experience Zestron Vigon A200 at 12% concentration in the wash tank delivered excellent cleaning results- even on some NC fluxed paste. Maybe its a price issue?

Is your NC flux residue cleanable? What does your flux suppler recommend?

What type of residue is it. Are you sure its not the solder mask turning white? Odd that it would only be on the bottom...

Thanks for the excellent info on testing uncured solder mask. I just checked with Chris Nash of the Indium Knowledge base and he told me that the Indium 3592 can be cleaned if need be and that I should contact Kyzen or Zestron (they are the 2 compan

We've been running Kyzen XJN+ with our new Westek Trek IV cleaner for months and have had few problems with ionic contamination. Prior to that we've used Kyzen products forever. Recently a Zestron rep did a sales pitch claiming a 50% savings if we

If I'm not mistaken, XJN is an inorganic highly ionic saponifier. If not completely rinsed off, I would expect that you would get ionic residue.

No. Aqueous Technologies, Kyzen, Petroferm, Zestron, Alpha Metals and many more companies have tested their chemical for use with many different production materials and should be able to discuss the effectiveness of their chemical. Beyond that, ma

I guess i don't understand: if your are going to wash the boards anyway why not use a water soluble flux?

Perhaps his processing time is very lengthy which could cause issues with leaving water sol residues on the circuit so long. Thats my reason anyways...
