AT A GLANCE
PCBA & precision-part cleaning
Review the contaminant, compatibility with components and polymers, and cleaning/drying method for the exact grade. The fluorinated-fluid category alone does not establish flux removal or PCBA suitability; include residue and inspection in the evaluation.
01 / EXPLORE THE AREAS
Key application points
Contaminant & target
Identify flux, oil or other contamination and the areas to clean, including conditions beneath components.
- RECORD
- Contaminant type, target area and current process
Component compatibility
List polymers, adhesives, connectors and other materials. Check appearance and required function on actual parts.
- RECORD
- Contacting materials, components and functions to inspect
Drying & residue
Define cleaning method, temperature, drying conditions, residue inspection and acceptance criteria.
- RECORD
- Cleaning/drying conditions, residue inspection and acceptance criteria
02 / PLAN THE REVIEW
From records to part testing
- 01
Define a consistent starting point
Record materials, process, current material and the issue. Specify which conditions will change during the comparison.
- 02
Check grade records
Review the current TDS/SDS and test conditions. Separate documented properties from checks requiring actual parts.
- 03
Use matching test criteria
Define the method and acceptance criteria. Record changes before and after treatment or repeated evaluation under consistent conditions.
03 / CONTINUE THE REVIEW
Discuss your component
Fluorinated fluidsAdd the conditions you know to the enquiry checklist. If the grade is undecided, start with the requirements needed to review candidates and records.
