Soldering Iron and Solder Pot Cleaners
Soldering iron and solder pot cleaners are auxiliary maintenance materials used to remove oxide and dross that build up on soldering iron tips and in a solder pot. The hot end of a soldering iron is cleaned of oxide by rubbing it on block sal ammoniac; a dross separator is used to separate the dross that collects on the surface of a solder pot from the molten solder. This category includes Konsan 250 g block sal ammoniac and a 250 g dross separator for pots. Choose the product according to whether the item to be cleaned is a soldering iron or a solder pot, whether the working end is coated, and the maintenance recommendation of the soldering iron or pot manufacturer. Sal ammoniac gives off dense fumes when heated and chemically dissolves the oxide on the working end; for this reason, check the soldering iron manufacturer's recommendation before using it on coated, fine electronic tips. These products are not circuit board or contact cleaning sprays; they are used only for the maintenance of soldering iron tips and solder pots.
