I want to use black wax (Apiezon W) to protect one side of a silicon wafer during 70C KOH. Since TCE seems to be frowned on these days, I'm thinking about Hypersolve (a.k.a. n-propyl bromide of 1 bromopropane) as the black wax remover. Hopefully, I can then rinse in something like IPA and then go to DI water. Anybody out there have any experience in this area? Thanks in advance.
