Technical Considerations

Control the Amount.
Control the Process.

Flux is an important part of the soldering process, but consistent results depend on using the right amount, maintaining a clean work area, selecting appropriate soldering conditions, and following proper handling practices.

More Flux Is Not Always Better

Excessive flux can create unnecessary residue, obscure the repair area, and make final inspection more difficult. Apply only the amount needed to support wetting and solder flow for the specific component and soldering operation.

01 / APPLICATION

Use a Controlled Amount

Apply flux only where it is needed. Controlled application helps support the soldering process while limiting unnecessary residue around the work area.

02 / PROCESS CONTROL

Match the Soldering Process

Temperature, heating time, solder alloy, component size, and PCB thermal mass should all be considered when selecting the soldering process.

03 / RESIDUE

Inspect After Soldering

Inspect the completed repair area after cooling. Even with a no-clean flux, residue may be removed when required by the repair procedure, appearance standard, or workplace process.

04 / WORK PRACTICES

Follow Safe Handling Practices

Use appropriate ventilation, keep the work area clean, and follow the current Safety Data Sheet for handling, storage, personal protection, and disposal guidance.
