Emil Otto expands its range of alcohol-based fluxes

The EO-B-010 flux expands the portfolio of multi-fluxes. The flux can be used in wave, selective and manual soldering processes as well as in cable assembly.

EO-B-010 contains a special synthetic resin that has a particularly positive effect on residue behavior. In addition, the flux was specially developed for Organic Solderability Preservative (OPS) printed circuit boards, where a water-based organic compound is used that selectively binds to the copper of the exposed conductor tracks and builds up an organic-metallic protective layer. This layer protects the copper during the soldering process. Furthermore, the EO-B-010 reduces the formation of solder beads.

Like many other multifluxes, the EO-B-010 is available in A, B and C variants. The individual variants differ in their solids content and are therefore even more tailored to the respective area of application. The A variants, for example, have a low solids content of 2%. These variants were specially developed for full-tunnel nitrogen applications and guarantee a better soldering result under full nitrogen thanks to a wide process window and high temperature stability.

The B variants, on the other hand, correspond to the standard version, with a solids content of 2.6%. This is the all-round version. The B variant is also available as a dosing pen or dosing bottle and is therefore ideal for small applications. The range is rounded off by the C variants, which have a solids content of 4%. These were specially developed for power electronics, where large component bodies have to be soldered with a low placement density.

The flux EO-B-010 is now available.
