Good Morning,

Another potential line stopper has appeared on the horizon.  My production
supervisor notified me that the Ecosolve saponifier made by AlphaMetals is
no longer available.  We have a WESTEK in-line cleaner that uses Ecosolve to
clean RMA flux residue from boards.  We are also located in Southern
California so we have stringent drainage and air quality (VOC emission)
rules that need to be considered.

Does anyone have any excess EcoSolve they would like to sell to get us
through this transition?

Has anyone faced this same problem and switched from EcoSolve to another
aqueous cleaner to remove RMA flux residue and no clean?

AlphaMetal's is recommending their ARMAKLEEN E-2003 as a replacement for
Ecosolve.  Anyone out there using ARMAKLEEN that would like to comment on
its performance on RMA (and no-clean)?

Can anyone recommend a southern California consultant that could help us
transition to another cleaning agent?


thanks
joe
