Product Overview

Kester 951 is a halogen-free, rosin-free, low solid, low residue no-clean flux. The extremely low-solids (2.0%) and nature of the activator system results in practically no residue left on the assembly after soldering. Boards are dry and cosmetically clean as they exit the wave solder machine. There are no residues to interfere with electrical testing.

Kester 951 exhibits improved soldering performance to minimize solder bridges and excessive solder defects. The surface insulation resistance on soldered boards by Kester 951 is higher than that provided by typical water soluble fluxes. It contains a corrosion inhibitor such that no corrosion products are formed when bare copper surfaces are exposed to humid environments.
