The Balver Zinn Group announces that they will be attending SMT/Hybrid/Packaging 2015 scheduled to take place May 5-7 in Nuremberg, Germany.
They will highlight the company’s latest solder flux and paste technology in Booth #7-308.
In response to market demands, the Balver Zinn Group has developed a high-end, Rosin based flux technology for wave soldering. The latest Cobar 390-RO-HT is a modified version of the highly reliable 390-RX-HT flux and is ROL0 classified according to IPC standards J-STD-004.
The residues of this no-clean formulation are dry and shiny and can be removed easily if required. Because of the Rosin nature of the flux Cobar 390-RO-HT, no tendency for white residues will occur in humid environments.
The Balver Zinn Group introduces the latest flux development for selective soldering applications. Cobar 88-SEL is designed to eliminate solder balling in selective soldering processes, such as between connector pins.
The formulation that features a solid content of 6.7% is Rosin based and classified as ROL0 according to IPC standard J-STD-004. Cobar 88-SEL flux leaves a very low level of shiny, dry residues and offers perfect reliability for high-end and automotive applications.
Also on display at the SMT Show will be a modified version of the existing Cobar OT2. The new Cobar OT2M is a rosin based solder paste and will be available in all common solder alloys.
Cobar OT2M solder paste exhibits longer stencil life, increased tack time, improved self-alignment properties, gives less odor and reduces voiding. Cobar OT2M is halogen and halide free and is classified ROL0 according to J-STD-004. The unique flux formulation produces clear and hardly visible residues and is available as no-clean formulation for all applications such as high-end and automotive.
Balver Zinn and Cobar offer solder bar, solder wire, solder flux, gel flux, cleaner and solder paste. For more information about the company’s complete range of solder materials, please stop by Booth #7-308 at SMT Nuremberg or visit www.balverzinn.com or www.cobar.com.
