We are using Austin American Technologies with Petroferm solutions and have excellent results using the same two types of solvents for cleaning stencils, adhesives and miss print boards. I average about five hundred cleaning cycles before we have the

my 2 cents here --- Even though the boards need not be cleaned after SMT when using no clean flux, you will still have to clean them before conformal coating.....and most solvents used to clean boards before coating will take out the no clean flux re

Hi, Can anyone suggest what solvents are the best for manual stencil cleaning?? we are currently using alcohol wipes, but the fine pitch apertures still have solder paste stuck in between them. We should ideallyhave a stencil cleaner, but until that

IPA is flammable and that is why no company will tell you to use. I've used many solutions and IPA works just as fine as any other solution if not better. Definitely use solvent in your cleaning. If it was meant to clean without solvent we wouldn't t

The overwhelming technology used in post-reflow cleaning of electronic assemblies is aqueous. Prior to the 1990's, solvents and vapor degreasers dominated the cleaning industry. After the popular solvents were banned via a United Nations treaty, alte

The smallest particle sixe for type 3 paste in 25 microns. This is far to big to remain airborne.Therefore I would suggest to continue to use air to clean stencils as it does clean the apertures effectively.What solvent is used to clean the stencils?

Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O to
