BOW ELECTRONIC SOLDER
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
BOW #851 FLUX
VOC-FREE, NO CLEAN FLUX
Description :
BOW 851 Flux is a no-clean, water-based, water-soluble and halide-free flux designed for mass soldering of conventional and surface mount PCB assemblies. The unique activator system permits exceptional solder wetting on a wide variety of metallic substrates.

Benefits :
  • Rapid wetting on virtually all types of substrates
  • CFC-Free
  • No Volatile Organic Compound's
  • Compatible with most solder masks and board laminates
  • Non-Corrosive, Non-Conductive residue
  • Very bright and shiny joints

Application :
BOW 851 Flux can be applied to circuit boards by dip or spraying equipment. For optimum solder wetting action, a top-side temperature in the 200°-240°F range is desirable.
