I would agree with Steve. The Aquanox line has served us well at Rockwell and we are converting over to the Kyzen Aquanox A4520 and are getting excellent resuls. I am a proponent of aqueous cleaning since you get both the dynamic action of pressurized spray, the thermal activity of hot wash and rinse waters, and the chemical energy of a saponifier. For these reasons, I would strongly recommend you stay away from any kind of vapor degreasing and no-clean residues. Bad Karma. I guess the more important question is why are you cleaning the low solids flux residues and is the low residue paste designed to be cleanable? Very important questions.

I've always had very good results cleaning no-clean residues with Kyzen Aquanox 4512P in a batch cleaner. They have another formula for lead-free residues, Aquanox 4630. They also have another formula (Aquanox 4520) that I've not had a chance to use, that is supposed to be better than the 4512P. You might want to give them a call... -Steve Gregory- -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dan Mauro Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 9:56 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Cleaning media for no clean paste Folks, I need to clean the residual residue left if any on boards processed with no clean paste. What should one use. Any thoughts - is there a common chemical cleaner that can penetrate under components.
