Wave Solder Flux 1010 is a versatile VOC-free water-soluble wave flux that provides excellent solderability on difficult-to-solder assemblies. Wave Solder Flux 1010 is biodegradable and cleans to low ionic levels, leaving the assembly with high surface insulation resistance (SIR).
Before no-clean fluxes became the most commonly used materials in wave soldering, water-wash fluxes had an extended run as the preferred material. The advantage of water wash fluxes is that they can be formulated to be very active so that they can solder virtually any assembly without concern for reliability since the residue will be removed after the soldering process. The disadvantage of water wash fluxes is that assemblers must have an additional piece of equipment, the water wash system, to remove the flux residue, and must deal with the effluent.
Neutral pH fluxes can generally be left on the circuit board for extended periods of time before washing, while the "low" pH fluxes generally solder somewhat better.
