Balver Zinn to Launch Its Newly Redesigned Product Catalog at Electronica

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- This event is scheduled to take place November 9-11, 2010 at the New Munich Trade Fair in Munich, Germany.

The Balver Zinn literature will highlight its complete range of advanced solders and soldering materials including the SN100CS solder, which is the newest variant of the world-renowned SN100C™. Due to its germanium (Ge) content of 100 ppm (0.01%), SN100CS is ideally suited for minimizing dross formation in ambient soldering processes without the use of nitrogen. In the Balver Zinn SN100C™ formulation, Ge plays the vital role of antioxidant and reduces the oxidation of the alloy in order to minimize dross formation.

Depending on the type of machine being used, a dross reduction of up to 40% can be achieved. Positive side effects of increasing the Ge content include higher creep strength, better thermal conductivity and improved wetting properties.

Balver Zinn recommends using Solder SN100CS for both the first fill and the refill alloy. The lower surface tension has a positive influence on the flow rate of the solder. The SN100C™ series also makes it easier to maintain the composition of the solder bath within specification, due to the lower level of copper leaching.

Also featured in Balver Zinn’s new product catalog are environmentally friendly fluxes such as the 2420NC, a VOC free flux. This flux is based on a water/solvent combination and offers improved soldering performance, as well as wicking characteristics that approach a solvent-based system, resulting in a perfect soldering performance. It is classified ORM0 and provides excellent soldering performance in the toughest applications, leaving no visible residues.
