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 --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
