water alone especially cold is not good enough, how do you check for hasl fluids when most residues left behind after improper cleaning are non ionic. Use 40C saponifier followed by heated rinse then cold rinse then DI rinse followed by dry.Nylon bru

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �

150º de-ionized water, however, if you're doing hobby work at home, regular hot water will be fine. Just be sure to allow the water to dry sufficiently before powering up the board. You can also use IPA or a custom flux cleaning solvent available o

If you have soldered with HASL finish then the worrying chemistry will be more like NON IONIC. They sit there and attract moisture like mad and any chlorides they hold ionize in the moisture attracted and cause electromigration or SIR issues. They ca

Surfactant. A synthetic detergent made from petrochemicals that lowers the surface tension of water and allows better cleaning in small spaces. Do you have a cleaning issue that requires you to use a surfactant? If so, be aware that you must clean

Mario: Your ask a very broad question and give no background information. Generally, the amount and type of residues present on a printed circuit board at the very beginning of a SMT line depends on the exposure of the board up to that point. For

Considering only Ionic residues is very dangerous, most heat transfer fluids that are extremely hygroscopic are also non ionic especially those used in HASL / Roller Tinning fluids. Also consider if the resist is cured or in fact porous which absorbs

We run both NC and OA flux, although the majority of our product is run on OA. For application not requiring uBGA, we find the benefits of NC elusive, at best. What? .... Your customer recognizes that initially the NC res in non-ionic, but sticky.
