Water Soluble Fluxes

Amerway 750 Halide Free Organic Activated Flux -- Amerway 750 flux is a halide free, organic activated water soluble flux for wave soldering. This flux is free of chloride, fluoride and bromide. Amerway 750 also reduces or eliminates effluent treatment and provides complete cleaning in water to low ionic levels while leaving a surface which has a high surface insulation resistance (SIR).

Application:  Amerway 750 can be applied by foam, dip wave or spray fluxing equipment.  The best results can be obtained by using the following guidelines:

1.  Keep foam-head, wave height, or pot level consistent through appropriate adjustments.  Replace flux daily if self-contained storage is not available; otherwise, replace after forty hours of operation.

2.  Adjust specific gravity to the nominal level + 0.005 with Amerway 750 Flux Thinner.

3.  Add fresh flux to maintain the appropriate flux level.

4.  Clean fluxing equipment regularly to remove debris, trapped oil or water.  When foam fluxing, clean foaming stone in the proper Amerway 750 Flux Thinner whenever the flux is changed or as needed.

5.  If spray fluxer is used, spray fluxing equipment may be cleaned with water, then followed by a rinse with Amerway 750 Flux Thinner.

6.  Wave fluxing equipment may also be cleaned with water and rinsed with Amerway 750 Flux Thinner.

Uses:  Amerway 750 halide free organic acid flux provides excellent solder wetting on Nickel, Kovar, Alloy 43 and Copper surfaces.  This unique blend of activators make it ideal for use in wave and drag soldering operations or for component lead and frame tinning.  Amerway 750 flux is mildly active, contains no glycol, and the easy cleaning eliminates the cost, worker safety, and environmental concerns of solvent cleaning or water treatment for halides.

Residue Consideration:  Amerway 750 flux residues are removed by hot water between 140-160 F, to a high cleanliness requirement.  Water quality has the largest impact when water washing.
