Dear Compliancenetters -

I received this message via a pollution prevention listserve to which I subscribe.  Does anyone know of more environmentally benign ways to remove solder residue?  I imagine that this issue has arise in the electronic interconnection industry.  Please respond to me and I will forward.

Thank you!

Subject: 	solder flux residue

Some fluxes contain a "rosin" as one of the active ingredients.
Apparently this rosin leaves a residue, which must be removed after the
solder is applied. A small company in Colorado is currently using a vapor
degreaser with perc to remove this residue. Does anyone have any
experience with any safer alternatives?
