We are using Superior 515 flux to clean and tin selective solder nozzles. Yesterday the flux turned a bright yellow (like a highlighter) when heated after the flux being applied. This does not happen with our Lead Free solder, only the Lead alloy. We even applied some flux to a bar of solder and heated it up, again the LEAD turned yellow and the RoHS did not.
