We do run them through an Aqueous washer, but I don't see excessive deposits or anything before washing. And our wash is just heated DI water.

Thank you very much for sharing this information. It is difficult to gain knowledge in this area independently. I'll contact Kester for information on adjusting the flux density and which "thinner" to use since I am using their flux. I really like

Hi everyone, We just got our first wave soldering machine operational (novastar 8s) and its working great. I'm just a little unsure about how to best maintain the foam fluxer daily. Do you drain it from the machine each day or just cover the flux t

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

Patrick, When you say "no-residue" what exactly do you mean? Is there truely "no-residue" or is it "no visible residue"? What type of ionic contamination results have you experienced? If you take a bare board that measures 0.0 NaCl and reflow it

As pointed-out above, the downside of telling your supplier how to perform a process can create problems: * It sets the cost of the operation ... I did what you told me to do * Materials selected may be incompatible ... I did what you told me to do *

Hi Patrick, With all due respect, it is easy to quantify zero. You made a claim that your flux produces ZERO residue. There are several industry-standards (IPC and Military) of determining the cleanliness of post-reflowed circuit assemblies. Th

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are

We currently use Vigon SC-202 in our spray in air system. SC-202 has 830g/l VOC content, so I don't know if that will help reduce your VOC's or not. We used Smart Sonic 440-R in ultrasonic application with great results, but we haven't tried it in
