Henkel’s leading role in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility is confirmed by many international rating organizations and sustainability analysts. Our solder materials are Conflict Free, meeting all the regulatory requirements of Frank Dodd’s Conflict Minerals legislation.
• Solder baths need to maintain alloy purity to guarantee high reliability solder joints.
• Overtime, dross forms when molten solder on the surface of the solder reservoir, or bath, comes in contact with oxygen, forming tin oxides (SnO and SnO2).
• Dross can plug the wave nozzles, which directly affect the solder/lead/PCB interface. This can lead to skips or open solder joints.
• To maintain alloy purity, it is important to perform solder pot analysis
• Solder pot analysis allows you to know the alloy purity drift against the IPC J-STD-006B industry standard.
