Kester 285 Flux-Cored Wire - Rosin Core, Leaded/Lead Free
Kester 285 Mildly Activated Rosin Flux is classified as Type ROL0 flux under IPC J-STD-004. This flux was formerly classified as Type RMA per QQ-S-571. 285 consists of high-quality, purified rosin into which a synergistic combination of activating agents has been incorporated. The fluxing ability of 285 is much greater than ordinary mildly activated rosin fluxes and is comparable to fully started rosin fluxes. 285 has been developed for use in the electronic industry, where complex assemblies are soldered, but process requirements stipulate using a mildly activated rosin flux.
Performance Characteristics:
- Industry-standard RMA cored wire
- Compatible with leaded and lead-free alloys
- Classified as ROL0 per J-STD-004
RoHS Compliance
This product meets the requirements of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, 2011/65/EU for the stated banned substances. (Applies only if this core flux is combined with a lead-free alloy.)
