Stannol Kristall solder wires have been specially formulated to complement No Clean wave and reflow soldering processes. They are also applicable to repair operations carried out after a cleaning process, eliminating the need for further cleaning. Stannol Kristall solder wires provide fast soldering on copper and brass surfaces and solder coated materials. Activity of the halide activated versions on nickel is also good depending on the state of oxidation of the nickel finish. The good thermal stability of Stannol Kristall fluxes means that they are also suited to soldering applications requiring high melting temperature alloys. The resin and flux systems are designed to leave relatively low residues and to minimise residual activity. This is achieved by ensuring some decomposition and volatilisation takes place during the soldering process. In some situations, this may generate visible fuming but in all cases, rosin fumes must be removed from the breathing zone of operators.
