Despite popular belief, IPA and other light alcohols are not good
solvents for removing flux residues. However, I cannot answer your
question without knowing a lot more about your products and the
flux/paste used, quantities, equipment etc. However, my first question
is: Are you sure you **need** to clean? Would not a "no-clean" process
be more suitable for your products? Please give your technically
justified reasons for cleaning.
