A google search on his subject brings several reports on the effect of germanium on LF solder, notably reduction in bridging and icicles, better wetting and reduction on dross production.

We know of two "solder savers" 1 Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver: We believe Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver to be a new formulation of Kleenox. Kleenox works. It helps separate the solder entrapped in the dross. [One tiny warning, one chemical

We agree with the previous poster. 50 pounds sounds like a lot. We don't know: * How often you dedross? * What method you use for dedrossing? * What portion of your dross that is dross versus solder? * How many boards do you run between drossings?

With the costs of bar solder going through the roof manufacturers need to try to offset the dross related losses any way possible. Companies employ reclamation processes but in practice this only yields roughly 1/3 of the original cost of the solder

A 70 reduction in solder useage is about what we are seeing. You are correct that there are machines that work better with MS2 than others. We are able to make slight modifications to those units, mainly making it more difficult for dross to hide fro

We all know that purity of nitrogen is critical for selective soldering. When it comes to wave solder- how much or what percentage reduction in oxygen is enough to make a difference in 1) at least reducing dross buildup and 2) being anble to cut ba

Just as an update P. Kay would not sell it until it was formally introduced at APEX. The sales rep issue in North America is still being finalized with the first rep due to be anounced this week.In the meantime they are taking orders and providing in
