ROSIN
ACTIVATED FLUXES (RA TYPE) |
|
|
|
|
These
Fluxes are clear, homogenous solutions of WW grade rosin in special
alcohol solvent systems with effective activating agents. They can
be applied by foaming, dipping or spraying. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 15C |
|
It
is a liquid solution with approximately 15% solids containing water
white rosin blended solvent system with activators. The chlorides
are approximately 0.1%. The surfactants incorporated into the flux
yield relatively tackfree residues. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 615 |
|
ICM
615-FOAM FLUX is a liquid solution with approximately 15% solids containing
water white rosin blended solvent system into which a small amount
of effective activating agent is incorporated. The chlorides are approximately
0.25%. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 638 |
|
ICM 638-FOAM FLUX is a liquid solution with approximately
38% solids containing ww-rosin with activators and surfactants. The
chlorides are approximately 0.2%. |
|
|
|
 |
ROSIN MILDLY ACTIVATED FLUXES
(RMA TYPE) |
|
|
|
|
These
Fluxes contain WW-rosin and solvent systems similar to RA fluxes,
however, the activation is so incorporated that the chlorides are
within 0.075%. They can be applied by foaming, dipping or spraying. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 7A |
|
ICM
7A FLUX is a liquid solution with approximately 8% solids containing
water white rosin blended solvent system with which effective activators
are so incorporated that the chlorides are maximum 0.055%. |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
ROSIN
NONACTIVATED FLUX (R TYPE) |
|
|
|
|
These
Fluxes contain WW-rosin and solvent systems without any activating
agents. They can be applied by foaming, dipping or spraying. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- RN40 |
|
It
is a liquid solution with approximately 40% solids containing WW rosin
in solvents system without any activating agent. |
|
|
|
 |
ORGANIC
WATER SOLUBLE FLUXES |
|
|
|
|
Organic
fluxes provide greater fluxing action than rosin but the ionizable
nature of the water-soluble residues necessitate their adequate removal,
generally with deionised water. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 103 |
|
It
is a water soluble organic activated flux. It is especially adaptable
for foam fluxing, however, it can also be applied by dipping or brushing.
It is used where inorganic fluxes are too corrosive to use and rosin
fluxes are too inactive for the application. It is essential that
the flux residues be completely and adequately removed. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
NO
CLEAN - LOW SOLIDS FLUXES |
|
|
|
|
The
no-clean fluxes are halogen-free with low solids. They leave very
little residues that require no-cleaning. The non-corrosive and non-conductive
characteristics of the residues usually yield higher surface insulation
resistance than the residues of typical organic water soluble flux.
They can be applied by foaming, dipping, spraying. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 707 |
|
It
is halogen-free, modified rosin, low solids solvent designed for wave
soldering conventional and surface mount circuit board assemblies. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 708 |
|
It
is halogen-free, non-rosin, low solids solvent system designed for
similar application as Flux-707. It contains synthetic resin. |
|
|
|
FLUX
- 709 |
|
It
is halogen-free, rosin-resin free, with lower solids percentage solvent
system designed for similar application as Flux-707. However, it has
less foaming action than Flux - 707. |
|
|
FLUX
- 915 (VOC - Free) |
It
is a VOC-free, halogen-free foamable flux with low solids water based
system. Although it is a No Clean Flux the flux residues are water
soluble and can be cleaned with deionised water. |
|

 |
TINNING
OIL |
|
|
|
|
A
refined synthetic oil for use as a blanket on top of molten solder
to minimize dross. |
|
|
|
 |
SOLDER
BARS |
|
|
|
|
High
purity of Tin and Lead uniformly alloyed in 63/37 or 60/40 proportion
for optimum performance and process consistency. |
|
|
|
 |
SOLDERING WIRE |
|
|
|
|
Soldering Wire or flux-cored wire made with high purity tin and lead alloyed in various required popertions. |

FLUX
PASTE HAND SOLDERING |
|
|
|
|
For
applications where a liquid flux is inconvenient to use these paste
formulations are available. |
|
|
|
FLUX
PASTE-S-18A (ROSIN ACTIVATED) |
|
It
is a blend of water white rosin, surfactants and activators especially
formulated for assembling printed circuits. It can be applied to the
areas to be soldered by any convenient method. |
|
|
|
FLUX
PASTE S7-MA (ROSIN MILDLY ACTIVATED) |
|
It is a liquid solution with approximately 8% solids containing water white rosin blended solvent system with which effective activators are so incorporated that the chlorides are maximum 0.055%. |
|
|
|
FLUX
PASTE NC 04 (NO CLEAN) |
|
It
is a non-rosin halogen-free paste with surfactant and activator especially
formulated for assembling printed circuits. It is less active than
Flux Pastes S-18A and S-18MA |
