Water Soluble Solder Flux

It is is primarily composed of organic materials other than rosin or resin.

Water soluble solder flux. Oatey flux and solder pastes facilitate the soldering process removing dirt surface oxidation and other impurities from the solder joint. 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. Water washable flux may contain rosin and in addition a surfactant to remove the flux residue after reflow. Ideal for working with supply lines for drinking water copper fire sprinklers and hydronic heating systems.

Water soluble flux is also known as organic acid oa flux. Water washable and 2. Cleans and fluxes simultaneously. I think from a soldering standpoint you ll prefer to use a water soluble flux because of the potential of more stronger acids.

All oatey fluxes and pastes are lead free and come in a variety of formulas including water soluble and tinning. Solder paste is designed for use in joining or sweating copper piping and fittings. 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. 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.

Water soluble wave solder flux. After the soldering process the rosin and water soluble fluxes need to be chemically cleaned to remove any excess flux residue that remains. Nice job jim as usual. Phil well i think that answers that question fairly succinctly.

Meets plumbing code astm b 813 standards for flux used in potable water systems. 80 is a neutral ph halide activated wave soldering formulation for foam wave and spray applications. The lead free formula will not turn copper piping green. The oatey 8 oz.

Solder paste is designed the oatey 8 oz. They have good wetting action ability to remove oxides and prepare a clean surface for soldering. Lead free water soluble solder flux paste. There are basically two types 1.

Meets plumbing code requirements for water flushable fluxes. Forney solder flux. Water soluble flux provides good soldering results because they have good flux activity. Compatible with common plumbing solder alloys.

Its high activity level makes it suitable for difficult to solder surfaces and it is compatible with all non water soluble solder masks. The unique chemistry of 1429 flux provides for self neutralization through a time temperature relationship which results in a residue which is neutral.
