CHEMTRONICS® TDS #CW8500 Technical Data Sheet CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux is a Type ROL0 formulation designed for BGA rework requiring high-reliability, stability and cleanliness. CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux gel composition holds the BGA component in position even with board movement. Its lower viscosity allows easy application and contains no ionic material. CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux is suitable for clean room applications. Excellent wetting ability Long tack time Noncorrosive, halide and halogen free Meets IPC requirements for ROL0, No Clean Excellent consistency Stable viscosity Conforms to ISO 9454 Meets Bellcore TR-NWT-000078 requirements Meets DIN EN 29454-1 1.1.3.C classification TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux may be used for electronics applications including: BGA rework and repair Sphere attachment to BGA Surface Mount Device Pads Switches Sockets TYPICAL PRODUCT DATA AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Properties Flux Type Flash Point (TCC) No-Clean ROL0 >140oC (284oF) Appearance Slight Yellow Odor Slight Shelflife 2 years RoHS Compliant COMPATIBILITY CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux is generally compatible with most materials used in the electronics industry. As with any cleaning agent, material compatibility should be determined on a non-critical area prior to use. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS For industrial use only. Read MSDS carefully prior to use. Flux Application: CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux should only be applied to BGA rework areas on the circuit board, and not the entire board. Remove cap from syringe and gently depress the plunger. Spread the material over the BGA application area. Use a Control Wipe™ dry wipe to remove flux buildup from applicator tip. Cleaning: No-Clean Tacky Flux residue does not need to be removed after reflow, but can be removed if required. Chemtronics FluxOff® No Clean Plus is an ideal cleaner for effective flux removal.

AVAILABILITY CW8500 3.5 gm (0.12 oz) Syringe ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA ODP None VOC No HCFC None HFC None Ozone depletion potential (ODP) is determined in accordance with the Montreal Protocol and U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are regulated under the Montreal Protocol as Class II ozone depleting substances. Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) information is calculated on a weight basis using the VOC definition of California Air Resources Board (CARB) Consumer Product Regulations, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 102 and the Federal definition published in 40 CFR 51.100(s). Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are not currently regulated. This information is believed to be accurate. It is intended for professional end users having the skills to evaluate and use the data properly. ITW CHEMTRONICS® does not guarantee the accuracy of the data and assumes no liability in connection with damages incurred while using it.
