Peter: Questions are: * From your pictures, the white residue appears to be only on the solder mask. Is that correct? If not, what is the location [eg, solder, nonsolder/nonmask areas] of the residue that doesn't show well in the pictures? Further,

Hello, I have a question on white residues formation at wave soldering. We have recently run experiments to test the performance of various halide-free water soluble fluxes (ORH0 under JSTD-004). The flux was applied through a spray fluxer and all P

The white haze is most likely coming from your ultrasonic air humidifiers. I have seen this from a home unit that left a white residue on furniture in the house. What is your water source for the humidifiers? If it is hard water you will get more
