Emil Otto introduces ROL0 flux pastes

Emil Otto's flux pastes are a range of pasty electronic fluxes, whose portfolio has now been expanded to include two new products. In both cases, these are ROL0 fluxes, some of which can be used reliably in component repair thanks to their very good activation properties, even for critical components.

"Flux pastes are a paste-like electronic flux that can be used for all types of manual and repair soldering. Flux pastes are also suitable for dip tinning and special applications," explains Markus Geßner, Head of Marketing and Sales at Emil Otto GmbH. Both ROL0 fluxes are characterized by the fact that they leave only minimal residues on the circuit board after soldering. The residues are usually so small that they do not require any additional cleaning. This is why these flux pastes are referred to as no-clean flux pastes. The two new products are the flux pastes EO-FP-003 and the Flux Paste EMILwhich are available immediately.

The flux paste EO-FP-003 was specially developed for repair work on printed circuit boards and for applications in accordance with IPC/IPC 610. The flux paste is ideal for use during repair work, especially for assemblies subject to high stress, as even contaminated pads and component pins can be activated. Due to the good activation properties of the paste, it can be used sparingly in small, metered quantities. The flux paste can be applied using hot air and soldering irons, but also with a mini wave.

The newly introduced Flux Paste EMIL is a no-clean flux paste that is also characterized by strong activation properties and very good wetting and spreading properties. Due to its highly active activation properties, the Flux Paste EMIL This means that a sparingly dosed application of the paste is sufficient to achieve very good soldering results," emphasizes Geßner. Similar to the flux paste EO-FP-003 can be processed using hot air and soldering irons, but also with the mini wave.
