The Balver Zinn Group will be exhibiting at productronica, where it will show off its extensive range of Cobar’s low-VOC fluxes for VOC emission reduction.
In today’s production technology of electronic products, environmental concerns over issues such as the ozone problem, the greenhouse effect and waste management call for VOC-free and low-VOC flux technology. Changing the process into VOC-free flux technology is not a simple task while low-VOC flux can be considered as a drop-in replacement for most alcohol based fluxes without changing the process parameters.
Cobar’s latest low-VOC flux technology delivers excellent soldering performance and provides an ideal solution for increasingly stringent demands related to lead-free soldering processes, such as low flux spreading for selective soldering and higher polarity.
95-DRX-M+ is a low-VOC flux that offers superior wetting performance even without the use of nitrogen. 95-RXZ-M is a low-VOC flux designed to optimise soldering performance in anti-solder balling. 396-BS features a water content of 60% to reduce emission, and provides extremely clear residues.
Also on display will be Cobar OT2M rosin-based halogen and halide-free solder paste, and the lead-free solder SN100C product range.
