As part of Kester’s portfolio of high reliability products, SELECT-10™ has passed IPC SIR testing as a raw and partially activated flux. Sustained activity within the flux allows for good barrel fill in challenging and high temperature applications. Specific to selective soldering, SELECT-10™ does not spread beyond the spray pattern and will not clog nozzles. SELECT-10™ is classified as ROL0 flux under IPC J-STD-004B.
