The organic solder has water-washable flux. It is used for soldering
most of the parts onto a PC board, which is then immediately washed in
warm water to remove virtually all of the flux residue, leaving the
board very clean. Any parts that cannot be water-washed are soldered on
after that with normal no-clean solder. It is very important to wash
off all of the organic flux, because it is corrosive if left. The
no-clean solder leaves some flux residue, but that is not as corrosive
as the organic flux.
