ChemtronicsES835B Flux Remover, Brush, 5 fl.oz.

hi this is kevin paolowski application specialist with chemtronics today i'm going to take you through the best practices of cleaning printed circuit boards with a flux remover a flux remover cleans off flux left behind after the soldering process that's important because flux residue can cause corrosion or create what's called dendrites which are ionic particles chained together between contact points dendrites can cause current leakage or even short out the board isopropyl alcohol is the most common solvent used for removing flux but chemtronics offers flux off brand of cleaners that can do the job more efficiently and effectively one common way to clean off flux is to wet a swab with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it around the solder joint this isn't the most effective way to clean a pcb because it often moves around the residues keep in mind that flux residues don't evaporate off the s
