We have had success removing white residue. A change of chemical (PCB-Wash or Vigon A200) have a good track record in removing white residue. As Dave stated, we (and others) operate a contract cleaning service. Contact me offline and I�ll provide

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

Some boards that are populated by one of our subcontractors are getting a white powdery residue forming on them. I think it is the non clean flux and process which they are using that is causing the problem. Their process is as follows. Flux is put i

Do you clean the stencil manually or using the automated under-stencil cleaner on your Printer (recommended)? 1. Ensure that stencil wipes are lint-free and soaked sufficiently with solvent before use. 2. If your printer supports automated cleaning

Hello Everyone, I have noticed that everytime that we have ran a PCB with fine pitch components (or even 0603s), there are little white strands on the leads or on top of the components. It occurs on both lead and lead free solder. We usually soak

The white residue can be caused by putting Alcohol on the no clean product. Some people will attempt to clean an area they have reworked.

Try the following steps : FIRST CHECK THE ARCHIVE for further information, it WILL help you. Step One : What�s the chemical analysis of this white res? Obtain a sample. It could be tin, rosin, or something else??? Step Two : The fastest way I know

Looking at the original post, it seems that the white residue is formed on the board after wave soldering and becomes evident when it has been left standing for a while. From what I understand, it seems that the solids content of the "no clean" flux
