Water Soluble Solder Flux

Ideal for working with supply lines for drinking water copper fire sprinklers and hydronic heating systems.

Water soluble solder flux.

I think from a soldering standpoint you ll prefer to use a water soluble flux because of the potential of more stronger acids. Cleans and fluxes simultaneously. There are basically two types 1. Water washable flux may contain rosin and in addition a surfactant to remove the flux residue after reflow.

Nice job jim as usual. 80 is a neutral ph halide activated wave soldering formulation for foam wave and spray applications. There are three different categories of fluxes used to solder electronics according to ipc j std 004b rosin and rosin substitutes water soluble and no clean. Meets plumbing code requirements for water flushable fluxes.

1429 soldering flux kester 1429 voc free organic water soluble flux is a self neutralizing type of flux formulation based on research work originally performed at the battelle memorial institute. Solder paste is designed for use in joining or sweating copper piping and fittings. Lead free water soluble solder flux paste. Water soluble flux is also known as organic acid oa flux.

Water washable and 2. Water soluble wave solder flux. Phil well i think that answers that question fairly succinctly. It is is primarily composed of organic materials other than rosin or resin.

This is jim hall and phil zarrow of itm consulting saying that no matter what type of flux system you use don t solder like. Forney solder flux. The oatey 8 oz. Water soluble flux provides good soldering results because they have good flux activity.

All oatey fluxes and pastes are lead free and come in a variety of formulas including water soluble and tinning. After the soldering process the rosin and water soluble fluxes need to be chemically cleaned to remove any excess flux residue that remains. The lead free formula will not turn copper piping green. Additionally the water soluble nature of the organic acid flux allows the pcb to be easily cleaned with regular water just protect components that should not get wet.

Compatible with common plumbing solder alloys. They have good wetting action ability to remove oxides and prepare a clean surface for soldering. Water soluble generally uses organic acid activators as the flux and every component in the flux system should be soluble in water and therefore clean with only water. Because the oa residue is electrically conductive and affects the operation and performance of a circuit remove the flux residue when you re done soldering.

Its high activity level makes it suitable for difficult to solder surfaces and it is compatible with all non water soluble solder masks. Solder paste is designed the oatey 8 oz.
