Soldering preparations play a crucial role in the soldering process, ensuring primarily effectiveness, precision, and durability of connections. The right soldering agents enable efficient oxide removal, improve solder wetting, and minimize the risk of defects. In this article, we present a wide range of liquid soldering aids and highlight the unique specialization of each product.
Why use soldering preparations?
Soldering preparations serve several key functions:
- Remove oxides and contaminants – Improve the wettability of soldered surfaces.
- Reduce surface tension – Thus, facilitating uniform solder distribution.
- Protect against corrosion – Shield connections from oxidation.
- Simplify cleaning – Especially important in high-cleanliness applications, such as electronics.
Types of soldering preparations – product overview
1. Flux AC81/N (Water-Soluble)
- Used for SMD component assembly.
- Ideal for applying tin and lead alloys in rolltimers.
2. Flux AG5 (Alcohol Soluble)
- Effective in tinning and soldering components coated with polyurethane varnishes.
- Suitable for soldering silvered and tinned components.
- High-temperature (300-400°C)
3. Flux LP1 (No Clean Flux)
- Used in SMD component assembly.
- Primarily designed for mechanized double-wave soldering.
4. Flux RF800 (No Clean Flux)
- Provides excellent wetting of copper (Cu) surfaces.
- Works effectively on tin-lead (PbSn) surfaces.
5. Flux TK83 (No Clean Flux)
- Ideal for mounting SMD and BGA components.
- Improves solderability and enhances connection quality
6. Flux TS81 (Water-Soluble)
- Intended for soldering chromium and nickel alloys.
- Suitable for soldering various types of steel, including stainless steel.
7. Soldering acid (Water-Soluble)
- Highly active and fast-acting preparation.
- Ideal for soldering nickel-plated surfaces, ensuring durable and strong connection
8. Soldering fluid (Water-Soluble)
- Perfectly dissolves oxides.
- Excellent for soldering galvanized sheets, ensuring quick and efficient bonding.
All soldering preparations with 50 ml and 100 ml capacities come with a brush for precise application.
How to choose the right soldering preparations?
Choosing the appropriate soldering agent depends on:
- Type of soldered materials – For example, steel requires more active fluxes than copper.
- Soldering method – Manual soldering requires different preparations than automatic methods.
- Connection cleanliness – In applications requiring minimal residues, water-soluble or halogen-free preparations are recommended.
Summary
Soldering preparations are essential agents that ensure both effectiveness and durability of soldered connections. Choosing the right preparation improves connection quality, minimizes soldering defects, and provides corrosion protection.
