What is Flux?
Flux is a chemical that facilitates soldering of electronic components to the circuit board. To ensure that electronic components can be soldered to the circuit board, first, one must check that the metal surface is suitable for soldering. Otherwise, since the soldering process will not be effective, circuit’s lifetime will be adversely affected. When the components are required to be soldered to the circuit’s surface, the flux is used to increase the performance of the solder. The flux formed on the surface after the soldering bath may cause oxidation and corrosion over time by holding dust. Therefore, flux cleaner products must be used to extend the lifetime of the electronic circuits.
Flux: A chemical substance that cleans the circuit board prior to soldering, which helps the solder to flow better and the component to be soldered properly. If flux is not used, the solder will accumulate on the surface of the circuit and will prevent the components from bonding to the circuit.
What is the Difference Between Flux and Solder Paste?
The differences and the similarities between the flux and the solder is one of the frequently asked questions in industries. What the flux and the solder paste have in common is that they are both chemicals used in soldering process in the electronics industry. Solder paste is a material used to join different parts of the leads. Flux, on the other hand, is a cleaning chemical used to purify the oxide layer that may form on the surfaces of the circuit boards.
Is Flux Smoke Harmful?
Flux smoke is a smoke that should never be inhaled. It may cause respiratory diseases if inhaled.

What is Flux Cleaning?
Flux is a soldering aid. It is necessary for the soldering process, but if it is not cleaned well afterwards, the flux residue will damage the printed circuit boards and the components. Therefore, after the soldering process, the printed circuit boards must be cleaned manually or automatically. After the cleaning process, it is important to make sure that the printed circuit boards are free of flux and solder residues and also it is important to protect the printed circuit boards against oxidation. For this cleaning process, Pulsar Kimya water-based and solvent-based solutions which are biodegradable and suitable for different needs. One can achieve the best results for electronic card cleaning by using the most suitable chemical according to one’s needs.
The solutions which are continuously used during the manual or automatic cleanings are called “bath”. These baths, which are used in the cleaning process’, accumulate organic and inorganic wastes after a while hence lose their cleaning features, depending on the amount of accumulated waste, over time.
Pulsar Kimya helps the industry with its biodegradable and environmentally friendly, chemical cleaning products & equipment found in its portfolio.
