Flux Percentage
M.G. Chemicals Lead Free Solder utilizes a state-of-the-art automatic wire extrusion and wire drawing machines to manufacture consistent solder. The introduction of flux core in the wire extrusion process involves constant monitoring of flux percentage to ensure minimal flux voids and irregular wire. Typical flux percentage for our Lead Free Solder is 2.0-4.0%.
Flux Core
A unique flux system was specifically used for high temperature lead free alloys. It provides the fluxing activity levels that promote fast wetting action and maximum wetting spread. Utilizing synthetically refined resin and very effective activator that wets and spreads like an RA type. This special activator exhibits virtually no spattering. Activator conforms to J-STD-004, REL0.Cleaning Flux core is a no clean formulation therefore the residues do not need to be removed for typical applications.
