It's possible that the flux residues from the solder paste used in your SMT process is not compatible with your water wash process. For instance, some no-clean fluxes leave resudues that are not water washable. When these residues are washed, they de

Is this a white residue on the joint and surrounding area's, if so the only thing I can remove it with after cleaning is an Isopar(Isoparrafinic hydrocarbon), my guess looking at other pastes where I have seen this is it is a type of wax used in form

Steve: I thought Kyzen products were "additives" to either aqueous or semiaqueous inline or batch machine cleaning processes. I'm trying to clean the no-clean residue from a few components that can not bear to see water. Can you use Kyzen products

I had problems with white residues on both WS609 and WS 3060.The WS 3060 turned out to be a carbonized material.The composition after analysis (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum) turned out to be tin,tin,phosphore and cloline and tin. Alpha also have

Dave, The first step would be to learn to accept the residue. IPC class 2 has no problem with it. If that is not possible, I am not sure why a no clean is necessary- but I will take your work for it. Alcohols will dry out the residue, and turn it

Hi, is there a reason why washing "no-clean" flux residue off of boards with 1(or 2)-ethoxy-propanol is not a widespread practice? This chemical is more commonly known as Henkel/Loctite/Multicore SC01. I've long known, as I'm sure most people do, t

DO NOT Mix Technologies.... If you are using a no clean solder paste use a no clean wave solder process. I have direct experience with using a no clean paste and a RA water-soluble wave solder process. When cleaning with the water wash system your

The Kyzen product was brought to my attention from a chemist at Kester solders when I asked him what could remove no clean residue from a PCB that had been built weeks earlier. We soaked it in the Kyzen for 8 minutes and ran the board through the aq
