You should take steps to prevent paste seperation, regardless of the container type.

Typically the more you buy (by volume) the cheaper it is per gram.

What is the advantage an disadvantage of using the Syringe vs Jar, for Solder paste supply media. Anybody with an input will be much appreciated. TQ

Syringes seem to keep the paste fresher longer since there is less exposure to air than a jar. It is also nice to be able to just squeeze the trigger on a gun instead of using a spatula in my opinion. Russ

In order from best, better, good * Lowest purchase price: cartridge, jar, syringe * Ease of inventory control: cartridge, jar, syringe * Flexibility of use: jar, syringe, cartridge * Ability to dispense by hand or machine: syringe * Cost to get paste

What I was told is that the stirring is intended to promote some shear thinning, not to redistribute the flux. The cartridges (and I'm assuming the syringes, too, if you're differentiating between the two) alledgedly introduce some shear thinning ju

Thanks for the reply guys...It was much appreciated. On syringe or Cartridge - what about the impact of flux migration, there was a talk about, periodically we need to turn the cartridge or syringe upside down to ensure the metal content & flux are a

If you are experiencing flux migration, try refrigerating your paste when not in use. This causes the flux viscosity to go up. I have seen flux seperate from the solder is when it is VERY old and out of date.Sometimes warmer ambient temperatures wi

Hi, Jar's quality is easier to measure. If you want to know paste viscosity etc. it's easier if you use jar. I have bad experiences about cartridges. I used cartridges for a short time but I change it back to jar because flux separated too easily in
