Hi David - I suggest you contact Doug Pauls ([log in to unmask]), Tim Crawford (EMPF 317-655-3673), and Bill Kenyon (Global Centre for Process Change 302-652-4272) - all three are good sources for information on alternative cleaning chemistries which may be of use to you. Good Luck.

I am the Quality Manager for a wire harness assembly company called Precision Cable Mfg. Corp. (http://www.precisioncable.com). Our primary use of solder is in wire tinning and soldering. We do some PCB componernt mounting as well. My company has been using Genesolv as a flux cleaner. I believe as of January of this year, it is no longer available due to its harmful effects on the ozone layer. I am looking for a comaprable replacement in terms of cleaning ability. We use Kester 1515 rosin flux, Kester "245" 63/37 core 50 solder (.031in. and .050in. dia.), and 60/40 and 63/37 Kester Ultrapure bar solder. I would appreciate any feedback anyone has regarding any recommendations of what cleaner to use and where to get it.
