Subject: Dross Eliminator

Hello all, just wanted to say that I've been using MS2 for 2 months now. Yes, it does eliminate dross. Yes, it is a little messy. However, we've seen a significant drop in our DPMO's on both leaded and lead free process. The solder is so much cleaner. I guess that's why they call it a surfactant! This material actually locks up the oxide and the solder is so clean you can see your reflection in it. I've reduced my waste by 87% which is important to my corporate and reduced solder purchases 65% which also makes corporate happy. I highly recommend it but make sure your maintenance people clearly understand how to use it.
