Well guys I will start using this product (MS2100PB - PKay Metal) within the next couple of weeks. I will be using the leaded version of the surfactant to start off with until I feel that has no detriment to my process and performs adequately well to continue its use.
I will let you all know of my results.

Subject: [TN] Molten Solder Surfactant for Dross Elimination
TechNet,
I have come to the Oracle seeking wisdom. Has anyone had any experience
with using a molten solder surfactant for dross elimination in a wave solder
process? There is a (fairly) new product on the market which makes some
exciting claims. Although, as the adage goes, if it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is!
I am not a chemist or metallurgist but, I think I understand in principal
how this stuff works, but I am hesitant to add anything to my solder pot for
fear of contamination issues, etc. Any and all comments are welcome. I am
especially concerned about long-term solder joint reliability issues. I
will do my own testing and validation both in lab and on the production
floor but I want to understand any process concerns, etc.
Oh, by the by, I am running standard Sn/Pb in my waves; we do not solder in
an inert environment and we do not clean our boards (no-clean flux).
Thanks in advance,
