Good morning Manyhats, I have 2 years working experience with automatic DEK screen printers. DEK products are really very good and are able to produce repeatable high quality print. For example I never saw problems with paste deposition for finepitc

Has anybody tried this stuff? I was asked about it this morning and it sounds plausible from their website, minus "The small volume of spent material can then be inexpensively shipped back to P. Kay Metal for recycling" part. Website: http://www.p

Danny, I'm hoping to hear more about this, too. I've seen it mentioned in a couple of other posts, but so far Sara G. (Foresite Inc.) is the only regular SMTNet poster that's actually seen this stuff. Really curious about residues, and what kind of f

Took your advice Sara, and did contact PK. Got a data sheet that says "no residue on boards or components". But not done with concerns just yet - for example, if the MS2 becomes thicker and more viscous, what's that doing to my pumps? Unfortunately n

Hi all, I will do my best to answer questions on MS2 here. I will try to check back at least every other day. The MS2 does not mix with the solder. It only reacts with the dross. It does not get down into the pumps. It was just formally anounced la

�..... their material acts as a barrier to oxidation," is wrong Mr. N. The MS2 material "consumes" oxides therefore removing the oxides from the dross by chemical reaction and releases the pure alloy. It is not a barrier and does not mix into the sol

WELL I heard rumblings from the engineering dept that they wanna try this stuff here at my place of emplyment. Im not so sure about this.I've always herd that dross is part of the solder joint and part of wavesoldering.As I said before Ive done this

To: Wave Master Larry, You are correct in one respect. There is always dross on the wave, but it is a result of oxidation of the tin and lead. It IN NO WAY POSITIVELY EFFECTS the solder process, in fact, dross trapped in the solder joint is a detri

Thanks for the info., Mike, and thanks for trying to dig up a little more. I spent some more time digging myself yesterday and found an MSDS for the stuff we use, but no specification. I finally just put in a call to our Armakleen distributor's cor
