Grant, No-Clean paste + IPA = White Residue! #1: Stop using IPA #2: Switch to either a solvent-based de-fluxing chemical or an aqueous-based de-fluxing chemical. If you are using an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards as stated, do not use sapon

We have been using IPA for about four years with no problems. We are using it with Metalic Resorces ws710 flux. At quite a cost savings I might add.

Acetone is likely not compatible with several component types, the evaporation charactoristics are desirable. IPA is more compatible, though, may not solubilize the residues. Austin American Technology developed MegaSolv JB and MegaSolv NOC for the

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �

regarding dwl comment, "For low volume hand assembly, deionized water or IPA should work fine." Deionized water: Deionized water is corrosive. It needs to be removed. Proof? Drop a copper coin into a covered jar of DI water and watch what happens ov

IPA and DI water are both very common and effective methods of cleaning PCBAs. http://www.zestron.com/sa/cleaning-applications/smt-electronic-cleaning/pcba-cleaning/aqueous-cleaning.html http://blog.gotopac.com/2010/11/18/ipa-as-a-universal-cleaner

My company currently uses water soluble paste for our SMT process. We were having trouble retaining hot water in our in line, closed loop DI cleaner. The cleaner kept shutting down when the water temp. dropped below 125C. As a result, the conveyor

1. What is the method for declaration RoHS for material like IPA, FLux & Solder paste. 2. What is the allowable limit for RoHS compliance for the above material?

Alpha UP78 was a modern solder paste. Check with your supplier for recommendations. You're are cleaning some flux residue with the IPA and reducing the leakage current. We're not wild about using IPA. Problems with IPA are: * IPA / material being
