Balver Zinn Josef Jost GmbH & Co. KG from Balve in the Sauerland region of Germany supplies not only solder in a wide variety of forms and alloys, but also fluxes for lead-free and leaded soldering processes.
The wide range of fluxes are used not only in wave soldering systems but also in solder wires and solder pastes. The modern REGI series in particular, with its different VOC content, has been attracting attention since its market launch. As a pioneer of lead-free conversion, the application engineers at Balver Zinn can look back on many years of experience. With the help of process knowledge, additives for the solder or the brand new high-runner flux REGI-RED®, they are happy to help optimize the process.
Advancing miniaturization, increasing application temperatures of electronic assemblies and the packing density of devices present new challenges for assembly manufacturers. Solder manufacturers must provide support with reliable, cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Previous standards, such as SAC305 or other alloys, are gradually being questioned or replaced by more modern systems. The alloy SN100CV® is one of these modern systems.
SN100CV® is available both as solder paste with JEAN-151® and as solder wire with e.g. StarCore® and is compatible with the latest REGI flux series.
StarCore® solder wire is for repair and standard applications. The StarCore® variant of the standard solder wires has a specifically shaped flux core to minimize the internal vapour pressure due to the melting resins and boiling solvents. This leads to a reduction in the number and size of flux spatter. The StarCore® has been specially developed for lead-free repair and re-soldering.
