TECHNICAL BULLETIN
BOW #591
Water Soluble Solder Paste
Description :

BOW 591 solder paste are ready to use homogenous mixtures consisting of fully alloyed metal powders, binders, and solvents for surface mount assembly applications. BOW 591 is a state of the art formulation that features robust OA activity for unparalleled solderability. The sophisticated flux activation system provides excellent wetting and minimal void formation on a variety of substrates. The flux composition is completely water-soluble so all residues are removed after cleaning in deionized water.
This unique formula is specially designed to give excellent results in Lead-Free applications. BOW 591 provides excellent wetting and void-free performance with the Sn/Ag/Cu alloy system. This paste is capable of printing .012" pitch at speeds up to 6"/second. It features long stencil life and exhibits excellent first print after wait performance

Key Benefits:
  • Capable of printing .012" pitch
  • Excellent wetting (Sn/Pb and Pb-free)
  • 8 hour stencil life
  • Resistant to hot and humid slump
  • Long tack life
  • High-speed print capability
