Alcohol-based Fluxes

The main advantage of alcohol-based fluxes is that they require less preheat to drive off the solvent prior to entering the wave. This allows assemblers to run smaller wave soldering machines at a higher throughput rate. It also reduces the concern about flux that has not been completely heated inadvertently transferring to the top side of the circuit board.

Fluxes that have high solids content, as well as higher amounts of halogen, tend to be more heat-stable and solder better with a variety of board types, sizes, and thicknesses. Fluxes with lower solids contents and no rosin tend to be easier to electronically probe-test and have less visually apparent residue. Halogen content is not necessarily an indicator of final circuit board reliability since halogen types vary and rosin in the flux will enhance an assembly's surface insulation resistance.

NR-10-D No-Clean Wave Solder Flux

Wave Solder Flux NR-10-D is a low-solids, rosin/resin-free flux. It is specially formulated to be used for wave soldering where the cleaning process has been eliminated. Any post-soldering residues are considered non-corrosive. Soldered assemblies are ATE pin-testable without cleaning.

The preferred method of application of low-solids fluxes is by ultrasonic spray. This flux can be used very effectively in a single or dual wave soldering system. Assemblies with surface-mounted components, leaded components, or a combination of both can all be soldered successfully with NR-10-D.

NR-10-D should not require thinning when used in a closed spray fluxer system. If required, the solids content of NR-10-D may be maintained by the addition of 16-3000 Flux Thinner.

All fluxes with low flash points should be handled with utmost care and precaution. They should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from flames, sparks, and direct heat.
