Description
|
UCON™ Solder Assist Fluid 25 is a low viscosity, water soluble polyalkylene glycol fluid with excellent thermal stability. It is designed for use in solder reflow fluids, fluxes, fusing fluids, and other process fluids where high temperature stability and water washability are
critical. Solder Assist Fluid 25 does not contain any additives which could be deposited on the circuit board during aqueous cleaning procedures.
UCON Solder Assist Fluid 26 is based on the same polyalkylene glycol polymer as Solder Assist Fluid 25. It differs from Solder Assist Fluid 25 in that it has been formulated with a proprietary additive package to further improve the product’s stability at high temperatures and to raise its flash point.

Product Features
|
• Good Thermal Stability
• High Flash Point
• Excellent Water Washability
• Low Foam Tendency
• Biodegradable, Low Toxicity
• Low Odor

SAF-25 and SAF-26 have been found particularly useful in various heat transfer andblanketing applications. They are used to fuse Sn-Pb electroplate into solder-coating duringfabrication and to “reflow” solder-coat and solder preform in assembly operations. Solder Assist Fluids 25 and 26 are also used as hot liquid leveling fluids to smooth solder coatingsand clear plated through-holes, and as blanketing fluids to protect liquid solder from oxidizing.
