If I had to guess I'd say they're using a silicone based adhesive.

Agree with what has been said so far. Check with your end customer and make sure the white haze appearance of the board will be acceptable. You will never get the board to look like it did before you started. It may be clean but it won't look like t

Sorry, but I don't know this brand. Anyway pay attention, because if the chemistry is resin based, is difficult to clean and the residuals may be hygroscopic. So, I only can suggest you to read the data sheet and follow the instructions by the solder
