What chemical is everybody using in their wave solder finger cleaner? I have tried IPA as well as some other chemicals. Any suggestions?

IPA is a fire hazard. Be sure your fire extinguishers are charged and your evacuation plan is current, when using IPA in the vacinity of a wave solder machine. Have you tried DI water? Solutions used in wave finger cleaners include: * Techspray SMT

You may want to try C8502 from Kyzen Corp. I use it on our three wave solder machines with great results diluted in DI water 50%. I am an end-user like you not a sales person! You can order free samples... -George

We use Axarel 2200 as recomended by Vitronics Soltec, which is the same as we use on our MPM printes for under stencil cleaning. It is non-ozone depleating and has a high flash point. For insurance purposes we banned IPA from the shop floor some

Jon, Does Axarel 2200 leave minimal residue or clumps on the wiper paper area? Also, what is your wipe frequency on a typical board?

Try Zestron Vigon RC 101. This mixes with tap water. Electrovert does not recommend DI water due to its corrosive nature. http://www.zestron.com/fileadmin/zestron/overviews-tis/usa/ti/ti-vigon-rc101-usa.pdf

We expect to find recommendations on periodic maintenance from the equipment fabricator in the operating manual. Those recommendations should be the basis for you to setup your maintenance program.

Degeaser isn't a good chemical to use either cause it leaves a residue so don't use it. alcohol works good. Not sure why everyone thinks it blows up. heck i remeber back in the day when I hade 24 inch foam fluxers bubbling flux and alcohol (IPA no
