The term “no-clean” is really a misnomer because many critical applications do<br />

require the flux to be cleaned. Nowadays, one of the most common reasons to remove<br />

no-clean fluxes is to increase the adhesion of con<strong>for</strong>mal coatings and underfill<br />

materials. Residue of the flux can absorb moisture causing the underfill material to<br />

separate from the board by <strong>for</strong>ming a little pocket of stream or gas during the<br />

underfill curing. Also, the cleaning is needed to prevent corrosion in PCBs exposed to<br />

extreme environments, or simply to improve the cosmetic appearance of the boards<br />

[76]. There<strong>for</strong>e, a post reflow cleaning process was added to this process by using a<br />

10% concentration of HYDREX DX aqueous cleaner. HYDREX DX is a low-
