Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

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.

White residues are a common problem when cleaning no-clean fluxe residues. The white residue forms when the flux residue is partialy removed, etc. Alcohol should not be your only solution for cleaning. In general, solvents may attack some plastic par

Vinesh: The white residue is perfectly expected, when washing a no-clean with water (and some alcohol). In some cases, the white resin that you are seeing can be removed. Your paste supplier should be able to provide details. Recognize that clean

Praveen, White powder residue can be produced if you clean the No clean flux residue with isopropyl alcohol. Check whether you are using any IP for local cleaning. In case you want to clean the noclean flux residue ( as per the requirements of conta

Greetings All, Anybody out there experiencing white residues after cleaning? We currently use a batch cleaner to clean water soluble fluxes. this cleaner makes its own DI water by means of carbon and resin tanks. After cleaning there are residues

We recently made the switch to no-clean and the wurface mount is turning out beautifully. However, the wave solder process continues to put up a fight; we are getting a white residue on the surface of the PCB. The residue is not localized to just t

White residue, probably nothing to do with the flux but was more than likely mineral salts from resist cure problem that are only soluble in Mineral Acids. No residue is the best IF resist is good, if resist issue's use low solids Rosin No Clean and

| 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
