Tom,

We've been using Kleenox for about two years.  It works very well for
us.  Makes de-drossing the pot a lot easier and reduces the solder
waste.  I have not noticed any residues in the pot.  We send out for
samples every month and I have a spreadsheet of the samples to track any
spikes or irregularities.  Flat as a pancake.

Costwise, it ain't cheep, but it works, and we go through a jar a month.
I buy it by the case of 24.

Make sure your operators wear their respirators when handling the
Kleenox.  Also, don't throw the empty jars in the trash.  They are
HAZMAT items, (at least in California).  We have a Safety-Clean
degreaser and we rinse the jars out and then we junk the jars.
Otherwise they have to go through HAZMAT waste disposal.


Hope this helps,

Jared Lang
