Tacky Soldering Fluxes
Kester's Tacky Soldering Fluxes (TSF) are used as a tacky agent and flux vehicle for soldering components to a solid solder deposit (SSD) board surface. They can be used in BGA/PGA ball or pin attachment or rework processes. Kester's TSF products can also function as a soldering flux in flip chip applications or for rework applications on all PCB packages. TSF's are commonly processed using pin transfer, dot dispensing, and/or syringe dispensing methods; but they can also be screen or stencil printed.
