In addition to Dave�s response: RO fluxes are based on natural pine (tree) rosin. RE fluxes are based on synthetic or modified rosins called resin. Below a couple of advantages resin can have compared to rosin: � Better thermal stability. � Resin

Try a rosin flux this has solved it for me on numerous occasions, no need to use heavy rosin only around 4% total solids so rosin around 1.5% is sufficient. It is down to the plasticizers which are tacky coming out of the resist. The rosin is an imme

Alcohol won't do much for the rosin residue, you'll have to scrub which isn't good on your QFP. Can you clean the assemblies before removal? A solvent such as Ensolve or Axarel would be effective on rosin.

What kind of flux is that: no-clean, water soluble, or rosin?

Sounds like a rosin flux. Is it sticky as well? Russ

True, but with rosin it should protect the joints pretty well right?

Hmm OK. Even a NASA article describes that rosin is safe not being cleaned lol.

Thx to everyone who replied. we will be running single sided thru hole and double sided smt, 186 rosin flux cause they tell me it can take the heat needed for 18 layer pwbs. some long leads. also they are ordering in pallets to deal with the irregu

Yes I have read that standard, but it doesn't tell me what I need to know. Both have the same activity level and halide rating (L0) The AIM technical guy told me RO is a natural gum rosin, while (RE) Resin has more processing or something (maybe so
