SMTnet colleagues, I am looking for your opinions on the PCB/CCA cleaning process. Regardless of fluxes or population complexity I want your opinion on these three cleaning processes and what you consider to be the best for what and why. Thanks for

We have a name brand aqueous batch cleaner that uses a chemical and DI water to clean ROL0 flux from our PCBs. It does ok most of the time for SMT boards and we want to include through hole assemblies as well which should be a better cleaning process

| I get white residue on my PCBs after vapor degreasing. No comments on the vapor degreaser. Yes, I still use one of these. I use a vapor degreaser and a 1,1,1 replacement solvent due to the quick clean and quick dry times. Anyway, I only get whi

arent there environmentally friendly solvents (i have seen some from 3M) that can be used in a vapor degreaser. i was also planning to use the vapor degreaser to clean boards prior to conformal coating

That's great Paul. Would you share with us the methods and results of your study of the effectiveness of water versus vapor degreasing cleaning?

In my limited experience. A Domestic Dishwasher with no water recycling like which is offered on some of the newer high priced models works a treat. Clearly this is batch. Inline filtering of the water supply is a good ideal. There are several ways o

This is not a common method of defluxing. Vapor degreasers were the top choice pre-1989 but have given way to spray-in-air defluxing technology. Here come of the vapor degreaser manufacturers: Detrex http://www.detrex.com/ Baron Blakeslee http://

Here is what I can tell you... The chemistry we use has adverse reactions with WS fluxes.Vapor degreasing can remove coatings and markings on some components. It can also roach certain types of plastic. On the other hand it works extremely well for r
