Solder for wave soldering
In wave soldering the board passes over a standing wave of molten solder. The bath alloy, its dross rate and how much copper it picks up from boards all affect cost and quality.
Our extruded and cast bars are made for wave baths, and we can advise on flux for the line.
Products
- Solder bars and sticks
- Extruded and cast bars in standard and custom sizes for wave and dip baths.
- Flux and cleaning materials
- No-clean, water-based, rosin-based, halide-free and VOC-free flux, through our flux partner.
