The Kester 5760 neutralizer is a buffered, alkaline concentrated formula which effectively removes both organic and inorganic acid flux residues. This includes water soluble fluxes used in wave soldering, hot air leveling and infrared reflow processes. 5760 Neutralizer will completely solublilize chloride complex residues such as lead chloride by selective chelation so that a water rinse will remove all traces of harmful contamination. - Simple neutralization with caustic soda or other alkaline solutions will not completely remove ionizable, potentially corrosive and conductive residue which is formed during soldering. Effective for both organic and inorganic residues.
