Question
I work at an Aerospace Corp. Is it suitable or even better to clean PC Boards after soldering to remove flux using Denatured Alcohol rather than Isopropol Alcohol.

Answer
That is greatly going to depend on the board and type of flux used.  I believe that only in-house testing will give you the answer.  You also have to be careful to examine what the alcohol is denatured with, since those chemcials can sometimes be a safety issue.
