There are a number of great Vertrel^® choices for defluxing

• Vertrel^® SFR  -- This is the modern equivalent to the old Freon^® TMS. This product cleans great, is generally plastic-safe (although testing is recommended), and is extremely versatile -- it likes R, RA, RMA, synthetic and even some "no clean" fluxes and pastes. When you're working with dense, tight, hot PCBs, "SFR" is a great choice.
  
  
• Vertrel^® SMT -- Another great choice, this is the workhorse defluxer of the Vertrel^® product line. It's very aggressive and suitable for use in heated cleaning systems. A bit more expensive than Vertrel SFR, this also would be a good choice in a low-emission vacuum system.
  
  
• Vertrel^® XMS Plus -- This choice is the strongest defluxer, tailored to the toughest organic contamination. It can carry the highest levels of flux loading and works great on all types of circuit boards and assemblies. Testing on soft plastics is required.
  
  
• Vertrel^® XF -- This is the mildest cleaner. It is plastic-safe, nonflammable, and ultra-mild. Highly effective for rinsing PCBs and as nonconductive contact cleaners.
