Concerns are: * We are unsure how a germicide like Purell affects a virus like H1N1. The CDC recommends washing your hands with soap and water. * Purell is flammable.

We are looking at this stuff all the time...One thing we find is the operators use the Alcohol based hand cleaners....and it drys their skin...then they use moisturizers creating a whole new issue. Just a word of caution. Cal Driscoll Agilent Techn

Bottom line: Whether you provide Purell or not, people will be using more of it, because it's cheap and they believe it might work in protecting them against H1N1. So, we're going to end-up with more of it on our boards.

Glycols, polyglycols, polyglycol surfactants, polyethers, and glycerine are used in water-soluble flux formulations because they provide excellent wetting of the board surface and dissolve the more active materials used in these formulations. [Printe

RRLotion, you said you offer an antibacterial hand lotion. I looked at your web site and no where in the literature for your hand lotion does it state that it has any antibacterial capability. I looked at the MSDS and there are no active ingredient

Glycerine on a PCB is very bad news as it is Hygroscopic and can attract moisture to the Circuit. Alot of this used to be used in HASL Fluxes and is a no go for Circuits that are not going to be washed. They too could dissolve the natural Halides fro
