HAL Flux EC2 (RDZ-1643) is the definitive flux for any type of Hot Air Leveled circuit board. This flux is especially recommended for dry film solder mask surface mount boards, the most difficult type of board.
HAL Flux EC2 (RDZ-1643) is based on organic acids, and does not contain hydrazine salts (as do many HAL fluxes), thus is safe for both personnel, and expensive equipment.

For ideal results, preclean panels with Pre-HAL Cleaner (RD-08) then with HAL Cleaner (RD-14) immediately prior to flux application.
