Just how cold do you store your paste? And what are your solder paste reps like? Here they fall over each other giving support for their paste. And have you seen the problem with flux separation or have you only heard about it?

You should get your paste in ice(dry ice). Then you should keep it in a fridge. Many pastes now have 1month shelf life(after you take it out of the fridge). If you follow all the above, you might be having: 1. Lot problem - try different lots of you

Jigo, We have never had a need to do internal testing on solder paste, and your paste supplier should be able to tell you what the correct operating temperature range is. All of the big names in solder paste have tight quality control and I suspect t

Hi, I wanted to know how can we test our paste quality, as viscosity, temperature in which it is delivered to the SMT line and other variables that can affect our paste dispense or soldering. Our concerns are that paste quality may be causing solde

Perhaps a photo of the faults you are encountering might shed some light on the issue. I would think it would take some extremely poor paste handling or paste for the paste itself to be the root cause of what you seem to be describing. I would be inc

At a previous location we used the Semco cartridges. Occasionally the operator would have to scrape down the stencil and knead the paste back in. That would keep the paste on the edges from drying out. It was just standard procedure.

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c
