First, it appears that your solder mask and your coating material appear to be incompatible. Second, IPA leaves a residue that's probably not compatible with your coating material, either. IPC-HDBK-830 - Guidelines for Design, Selection and Applic

Steven, There is a load of info on this if you check through the archives. Quick pointer though are: Solder balls are caused by paste creeping under the component at placement. The part is placed and the paste is squashed under the component, when t

I assume you are talking about Sn62Pb36Ag2 solder. You should not see any added concerns when subjecting Sn62 to multiple reflow cycles as compared to Sn63. As compared to Sn63Pb37: Reduced leaching issues Increased Wetting due to lo

dave, where I work they are having the same problems with 1B31 acrylic. The coating thickness is 6-8 mils dried so that have to do several passes with an air dry between them and a final oven cure. They think that it might be related to the heating r

Maybe your solder mask supplier can provide additional background

Creeping corrosion occurs on bare metal. Most commonly, it is seen on boards with thin protective coatings [eg, bare copper, immersion silver, organic solderability preservative]. Look here: * enthone.com/docs/AlphaSTARCreeping.pdf * circuitree.com
