Product Description
ALPHA PF-2 is a low-solids, halide-free, rosin/resin-free no-clean liquid flux formulated for spray application in nitrogen-inerted wave soldering. Typical as-supplied values include 1.9 wt% solids, specific gravity of 0.785 to 0.791 at 25 deg C, and a 360-day shelf life, with IPC J-STD-004 designation ORL0. Typical spray loading is 80 to 400 ug/cm^2 of solids, with 60 to 120 deg C top-side preheat and 1 to 5 seconds of solder contact time.
Key features
- Spray-only flux application: The formulation is intended for spray methods, with a typical loading of 80 to 400 ug/cm^2 of solids.
- 1.9 wt% solids content: The measured solids level defines the low-solids no-clean flux formulation.
- IPC flux classification: J-STD-004 designation is ORL0 for the halide-free, rosin/resin-free flux.
Applications
Nitrogen-inerted wave soldering with spray-flux application.
