Soldering Fluid and Flux

Soldering fluid, or flux, is a liquid flux that dissolves the oxide layer on the metal surface to be soldered and helps the molten solder wet the surface and spread evenly. It is used in electronic board soldering, in tinning cable and component leads, and in desoldering and resoldering jobs. In this category, Feray and Soldex brand soldering fluids in grades such as PC-26, PC-33, FSW-32, ARAX FLUX, NO-CLEAN and ROL-0 are sold individually in 1 LT volume. Choose the flux according to the grade suited to the board and alloy, whether cleaning is needed after soldering (no-clean types are for jobs where the residue can be left without cleaning) and the method of use. For the grade name and instructions for use, refer to the product information, and for flammability and ventilation, to the safety data sheet. Soldering fluid does not contain solder alloy and does not make the connection on its own; it does not replace solder wire.
