Liquid Rework Flux suits lead-free and tin-lead soldering.

Press Release Summary:




Suited for re-working or post mass soldering applications, no-clean SR-7 is halide-free and rosin-free material designed for soldering on all PCB finishes, from lead-free HASL to immersion silver, tin ENIG, and OSP. Inherent low solids content ensures minimal post soldering residues are non-sticky, allowing for unhindered probe testing. Compliant with Bellcore SIR, flux comes in 1 and 5 liter containers as well as pen format.

Almit Launches New High Performance Liquid Rework Flux



Almit Technologies has confirmed the launch of SR-7, a new high reliability general purpose liquid rework flux. No clean, low residue and halide free, Almit's new flux technology is uniquely optimised to deliver a high performance with both lead-free and conventional tin-lead solders.

Ideally suited to re-working or post mass soldering applications, Almit SR-7 is an easy-to-use rosin-free material designed to deliver excellent soldering on all commonly used printed circuit board finishes, from lead-free HASL to immersion silver, tin ENIG and OSP. An inherent low solids content ensures that the minimal post soldering residues are non-sticky, thereby allowing for more efficient and unhindered probe testing. Meanwhile, complete compliance with Bellcore SIR guarantees manufacturers a highly reliable, superior soldering performance.

"Given its wide compatibility, Almit SR-7 is ideal for use in today's diverse manufacturing environments," explains Almit's Chris Ward. "While compliance with lead-free is now standard, our new flux is also a good option for manufacturers still required to work with conventional tin-lead solders. When combined with the flux's high reliability, this level of adaptability makes SR-7 an ideal choice for a wide range of demanding applications."

Almit SR-7 is fully compatible with all Almit solder pastes and cored wires. Representing a further level of product flexibility, the liquid flux is available in five litre and one litre plastic containers, and also in pen format.

Almit is asserting technology leadership throughout the field of materials jointing, with its range of soldering products offering highly optimised characteristics, including low wear on soldering tips, high print speed, and low melting point lead-free technologies. The Japanese corporation has been supplying lead-free solder materials for volume electronics manufacturing production in its home market for over several years, and to the automotive industry for almost a decade. Addressing these localised lead-free process requirements has put Almit ahead of the curve in the global lead-free changeover.

Experienced engineering and process staff from Almit will be at the Southern Manufacturing booth to advise and guide on all aspects of changing to lead-free.
