ArChine arcfluid SF 280

Solder Assist Fluid

Product description
ArChine arcfluid SF 280 is a water soluble polyalkylene glycol-based fluid formulated with an additive package to improve the product’s stability at high temperatures and to raise its flash point. It is designed for use as a component in solder reflow fluids, fluxes, fusing fluids, and other process fluids where high temperature stability and good water washability are critical.

Product features

ArChine arcfluid SF 280 has been found particularly useful in various heat transfer and blanketing applications. It is used as a heat transfer media to fuse Sn-Pb electroplate into solder-coat during fabrication and to “reflow” solder-coat and solder perform during assembly. As a flux component, ArChine arcfluid SF 280 aids in heat transfer and protects the solder from oxidizing. It is also used as a hot liquid leveling fluid to smooth colder coatings and clear plated through-holes, and as a blanketing fluid to reduce dross formation on the liquid solder.

Typical physical properties

(1)Product contains small amounts of water-insoluble additives which are present to improve thermal stability.
(2)Temperature above which a 1% aqueous solution of the product separates.
