HYDRO-X (Code: )

HIGH ACTIVITY WATER SOLUBLE CORED SOLDER WIRE

Properties of Multicore Hydro-X solid flux cored solder wires:
-  Rapid soldering of most difficult to solder parts
-  Fast wetting
-  Water washable, no need for added neutralisers
-  No insoluble residues
-  No spitting
-  Residues must be removed

PRODUCT RANGE
Multicore Hydro-X cored wires are manufactured with a flux content of 2%.
Multicore Hydro-X cored wires are available in a variety of alloys conforming to J-STD-006 and EN 29453 or alloys conforming to similar national or international standards. For details refer to document “Properties of Alloys used in Cored Solder Wires”. A wide range of wire diameters is available.

APPLICATION
Multicore Hydro-X water soluble flux cored solder wires are suitable for use in normal hand soldering operations where the components have been assessed as being able to withstand the necessary washing procedures.
Stranded wire should not be used. Strip any insulation back so that flux residues are not trapped during the washing process.

CLEANING
It is essential that the residues from soldering with Multicore Hydro-X cored solder wires be removed as soon as possible after soldering. The residues from Multicore Hydro-X cored solder wires may be readily cleaned in conventional equipment using water. It is important that the cleanliness of boards and components is thoroughly checked after soldering and cleaning. The usual procedure is to continuously check the conductivity of the final rinse water as a measure of ionic contamination. Samples of cleaned boards should be subjected to a laboratory corrosion test, insulation resistance test, or ionic contamination assessment.
