Hello Dave, Water Washable (Organic Acid, OA) post solder flux residue is designed for cleaning in plain water without cleaning chemical additives. The real advantage of water washable flux was that it cleaned in plain water without additives � no

Patrick I can only agree with you about low residue (alcohol based) fluxes, providing you apply the amount specified by the supplier. Amounts in excess of the specified amount can have harmful effects.

| | | We recently made the switch to no-clean and the wurface mount is turning out beautifully. However, the wave solder process continues to put up a fight; we are getting a white residue on the surface of the PCB. The residue is not localize

I buy 6 spray system by ERSA (http://www.ersa.de)in new solder wawe but also in retrofit. We had a very good experience whith this system. We used INTERFLUX has low residues flux. (IF2005M) This is a belgium company. Good luck Michel

Choices are: * Buying a helmet. * Using a paste with low residue flux. Where are you located that you can use Triklone N [1,1,2-trichloroethene, CAS No: 79-01-6, C2HCl3]? As a solvent replacement for Triklone, several companies offer proprietary bl

This is one I haven't seen before (not in this context, anyway). We have an assembly that we have the SMT done out of house on, because of the high volumes. The boards have two distinct characteristics with respect to the appearance of the solder jo

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj

I assume you talk about wave soldering. No-clean fluxes are widely used since 1987 or earlier and after all these years they have proven to be reliable. If you clean the board or not the dust bunnies etc. will still reach the board surface. If you us

At my last place of employment, that was the big reason why nobody (especially the Design Engineers) bought into a no-clean process - interference with high-impedance circuits. One guy was so paranoid about flux residues remaining on the board, that

Interesting...the very reason we use water soluble paste on some of our boards is for that reason, although I've never been able to get anyone to show me something in print that supports it. It's just what engineering has told me. We currently have
