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

Hi, That is very common in WS pastes.It is white residue (Salt) Usually it�s not dangerous it only looking bad. I think best way would be contact your paste supplier and they should know what would take a stain off if not, change supplier. There i

MadReindeer If this white residue is salt, * Why do you say is the presence of it 'not dangerous it only looking bad'? Don't salts sometimes go into solution with moisture on the board from humidity in the air and form cathodic plating shorts betw

would like to do a paste change, yet this paste was defined by the end-end-customer. this makes it one heck of a ECN paper trail just to start the evaluation DOE of new paste for this *customer project* group. ah, the politics of working life... wond

I too have experienced this problem on many occasions. Try turning you wave temperature down just a bit. If you spec allows for this it will help. The condition will not totally go away but reducing the heat will help. Of coarse you other option in a

We have not yet sent this out for analysis, So, I don't really know what it is. initial evaluation would lead me to believe that it is flux since it is only present on the solder joints themselves and nowhere else. I noticed that you also mentioned

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 proce
