![]() Note : No.1260 Contains: Amino ethylethanolamine, Ammonium Fluoborate, Zinc Oxide, and Triethanolamine, and must be handled with care and used with adequate ventilation. This will give a stronger and cleaner joint. We recommend using solid wire solder with this flux, ** For Soldering Stainless Steel, not aluminum, and other difficult to solder metals, See Superior No.71 or Superior No.78. Great for repairing cast RR cars and engine chassis Use with 96/4 Tin/Silver Solder for other metals Use with 91/9 Tin/Zinc Solder for Aluminum Note: Great care must be taken when working LiPoly Cells or Other cells with Aluminum tabs. Superior No.1260 is excellent for soldering High Activity, Chloride- free, Organic- BasedĮffective in joining aluminum to aluminumĪnd aluminum To most ferrous and non- ferrousĪlloys, including some grades of stainless steel **.Ī ctive 350 - 550 deg. Organic flux has been around for some time, but not readily available to the general public. The other common type of flux is Organic Water Soluble flux. When foam fluxing, do not use hot fixtures or pallets. ALPHA SM-110 Solvent Cleaner has been found to be very useful for these cleaning applications. Conveyors, fingers and pallets should be cleaned. Some type of cleaner must be used to remove the excess rosin from items, which in themselves can be dangerous. When switching from one flux to another, the use of a new foam stone is recommended (for foam fluxing). And it can cause problems in very high speed electronics. On certain electronic circuits it MUST be removed because the rosin attracts water. Rosin flux works OK, but when used on electronics it also should be removed since it leaves behind a very sticky mess. The second flux most used is the Rosin flux, used a lot in the electronic business. Acid flux is great, used mostly in commercial operations because it can be dangerous, and any excess flux MUST be completely removed or everything will corrode. There are different types of flux, first there is Acid. ![]() It can be applied separate from the solder or be a part of the solder, contained in the core of the solder. First it cleans the metal, then helps the solder flow properly when heated. *Other metal-containing solder dross, such as that from silver soldering, will need to be managed in a similar manner.Solder flux is the necessary ingredient in any solder operation. Learn more about disposing electronic devices or e-waste. Request a hazardous waste collection to disposes of hazardous waste generated by UC San Diego facilities. The collection container should be metal and labeled. Used solder sponges and contaminated rags must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Discard lead solder and dross in a container with a lid. Lead soldering waste* is considered hazardous. For research labs and research support shops, a Carcinogen Hazard Control Plan (HCP) must be approved prior to working with lead-containing materials, and a process-specific Soldering Hazard Control Plan (HCP) must also be approved for any soldering work.Discard lead-contaminated materials as hazardous materials. To prevent spreading lead contamination DO NOT use brooms, mops, and/or any materials that are reused. Clean work surfaces by using wet wipe method or specialized lead cleaning wipes.Hold leads so when cutting, they do not fly away. Eye Protection – Safety glasses, goggles, or face shields should be used when soldering and clipping wires.Heat resistant gloves may also be prudent. Protective Clothing – To prevent burns from splashes of hot solder, long sleeve shirts and pants that are made of natural fibers (cotton) and closed‐toe shoes should be worn.Use the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent inadvertent contact:.Avoid inhalation of soldering smoke/fumes. Conduct work in a well-ventilated area.Do not eat or drink in soldering areas.Wash hands after completing soldering work.Avoid ingestion of lead surface contamination by keeping soldering areas clean.Follow manufacturer’s instructions and read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials before beginning work.To reduce risk, please substitute non-lead based products whenever possible. Many non-lead based solder alloys are available and are equally effective. Substitute for Non-Lead Containing Products In addition, using flux containing rosin produces solder fumes that, if inhaled, can result in occupational asthma or worsen existing asthmatic conditions as well as cause eye and upper respiratory tract irritation. Soldering with lead (or other metals used in soldering) can produce dust and fumes that are hazardous. If handled incorrectly, lead can pose chronic health effects, such as reproductive problems, digestive problems, memory and concentration problems, and muscle and joint pain. Workers can be exposed to lead during soldering.
