Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
Three products were used at full strength at room temperature and five products were heated to 130 F on a hot plate. Twenty four preweighed coupons were coated with Flux Kester Solder Flux 1544 (64-17-5, 78-92-2, 8050-09-7) and allowed to dry for a half an hour and reweighed. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar-agitation, rinsed in a tap water bath for 15 seconds at 120 F and dried using air blow off for 30 seconds at 68 F. Coupons were allowed to dry for a half an hour and then reweighed a final time. Efficiencies were calculated.
