Ideally we want to mix the same lot numbers in a repackaged tube. Once again, these are partial tubes that have been thrown away. If the ratio is right to begin with the only change would be due to air exposure. Semco makes a TC seal which, if we

The letter below was dated December 13, 2006 from Kester's Senior Market Development Engineer. I guess since then they have moved production back to Mexico. We no longer use EM907 as our primary Pb-free paste so I haven't seen any containers in a w

Hi Grant, The purpose for allowing the solder paste to reach room temp before production is to reduce the amount of water absobtion from the air. (e.g. a cold glass of water "sweats" on a humid day)The purpose for mixing is to make the viscosity more

Good Morning Stephen, 1) Most solder paste manufacturers recommend a 2 hour temperature stabilazation period. Solder paste should not be opened and exposed to ambient air if it is still cold. 2)Manufacturers do not reccomend mixing old and new paste

Norman- I would be pushing to get the real world to match the ideal world, in other words get your jobsetters to do the right thing. You are looking to incur more costs to justify not having to make people do their job right. A bit of training a

If your product mix is similar in terms of thermal mass and componentry, find some standard setpoints (by doing a baseline profile) which will produce a thermal profile that's within the specs. of your solder paste and product. This approach usually

Alpha UP78 was a modern solder paste. Check with your supplier for recommendations. You're are cleaning some flux residue with the IPA and reducing the leakage current. We're not wild about using IPA. Problems with IPA are: * IPA / material being
