No. Aqueous Technologies, Kyzen, Petroferm, Zestron, Alpha Metals and many more companies have tested their chemical for use with many different production materials and should be able to discuss the effectiveness of their chemical. Beyond that, ma

I've found that Zestron HC works very well for breaking down all SMT adhesives. That's what our machine manf. recommends.

Here are some cleaning chemistry companies that have products to clean no-clean flux residues: www.zestron.com www.kyzen.com www.petroferm.com They all have engineers on staff that can assist with setting up a custom cleaning process.

Well... Some are worse than others... How can you identify that it is caused by uncured mask and not flux residues? The flux is from indium, 3592. Some research in their tech library revealed that either Kyzen or Zestron would work, which is the re

I guess i don't understand: if your are going to wash the boards anyway why not use a water soluble flux?

Perhaps his processing time is very lengthy which could cause issues with leaving water sol residues on the circuit so long. Thats my reason anyways...

hi, we use pump print stencil and have problem with cleaning.we clean the stencil handling, using zestron301, but in the holes stay adhesive.Take a test with ultrasonic cleaner but resalt is not good.

Thanks for the reply.. May foam eh? We actually clean some of our no clean boards anyways so I have Zestron in the wash sump. That should mitigate any foaming that would occur in straight DI I would think...?

You may want to ask Zestron to be sure. We have a batch cleaner with pure DI water. The first time we cleaned some of these boards in it we had a bit of a mess around the cleaner.
