Which chemical can be used instead of BCS to clean the soldermask ink from screen?
Manufacturer tells to use BCS, i am looking for an aqueous based chemical

Boil it in a saturated NaOH solution. 10-15 and the mask will just wipe off. Also, any Al will dissolve. First step in precious metal recovery.

Sorry, I thought you wanted to remove the whole solder mask.
