Hi mates, just my 2cents worth... some folks (like us) have product runs that have BGA using no-clean, coupled that with Class3 IPC-A-610 specs, topped with aerospace/military customer defined specs. we end up cleaning NC with a degreaser machine w

CAL, Thanks for the input. When I said chemistry I was refering to soldering chemistry and not cleaning. I believe this machine has the capability to incorporate a saponifier but would prefer not to run in this manner. Running a closed loop DI re

We have a name brand aqueous batch cleaner that uses a chemical and DI water to clean ROL0 flux from our PCBs. It does ok most of the time for SMT boards and we want to include through hole assemblies as well which should be a better cleaning process
