Servisol 'No-clean' soldamops have been manufactured without the use of Colophony Rosin as a flux.
Colophony - commonly called rosin has been widely used as a flux vehicle for solder and also desolder braid.
Recent concern by the Health and Safety Executive has focused on cleaning up the air quality in the electronics industry.
Rosin is a proven respiratory sensitiser.
Rosin fumes released during soldering can cause respiratory problems similar to asthma, repeated long term exposure can cause long term damage to the lungs.
Servisol 'No-clean' Soldamops are manufactured from high quality, oxygen and oil free copper braid, using a safe synthetic flux system that does not produce harmful vapours during de-soldering.
The No-clean soldamop also meets the demands of no-clean production environments.
The minimal residue left after de-soldering is inert and non-conductive, as a result, board cleaning is infrequently required.
Soldamop 'No-clean' is also vacuumed sealed to preserve the purity of the braid.
They are available in 0.8mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm widths and in 1.5m, 10m and 30m reels.
