Rosin. A hard, natural resin, consisting of abietic acid [and pimaric acids in Europe] and their isomers, some fatty acids, and terepene hydrocarbons. Rosin is extracted from pine tree stumps. It�s an organic material distilled from oleoresin in p

According to J-STD-004 "Requirements for Soldering Fluxes", fluxes are classified by their chemical composition, activity level and halide content. In this scheme, each flux type is identified by a 4-character designator, where: * First two character

Any reply yet from the Lab? we eagerly await for news...

Fluxes that have been properly heat activated are insulative (non-reactive) during operation in the field and during environmental testing. If you are also performing a cleaning operation, the possibility of growing dendrites is so remote that it can

So, they want you to talk through a justification for mixing fluxes? That's GREAT, if you can get away with it!!! Tell us more about Safety Clean.

M.G. Chemicals "Safety Wash Cleaner Degreaser". A primarily ethanol / methyl alcohol product. Part number "405". Brushes, Kim Wipes, or cotton swabs have all been used from time to time to apply it to the PCB.

Yes I have read that standard, but it doesn't tell me what I need to know. Both have the same activity level and halide rating (L0) The AIM technical guy told me RO is a natural gum rosin, while (RE) Resin has more processing or something (maybe so

It's possible that combining these two fluxes is benign, you sure can't say your customer is wrong, can you???? So, what is the intent of leaving these two different flux materials on your board? What is the residue remaining on your board as your

OK, to reopen this and muddy the water a little more, What is the difference between REL0 and ROL0 solder. The solder paste that more than one of our suppliers is using is AIM293+ - this is REL0 The no-clean solder wire we use in house is ROL0, mad

OK....I now fully understand the difference in chemical makeup between rosin and resin. But....can you, or would you, mix them without any concern? Could you or someone please just give me a straight yes or no answer? Please? Of course,... I woul
