MS2 Eliminates Dross in Wave Soldering
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Dross build up in wave solder pots can contribute to additional soldering costs, reduced efficiency, and defects. On a recent visit with Los Angeles-based P. Kay Metal (Booth 2635), president Larry Kay introduced us to the MS2 100 dross elimination surfactant for lead-based wave solder pots, and the MS2 200 LF for dross removal in lead-free solder wave solder pots. The molten solder surfactant does not mix with the metal, but instead forms a thin floating layer that covers the entire solder surface except the wave The chemistry prevents dross from forming on the surface, converting it immediately back into usable metal. This process is said to reduce a company's solder usage by up to 70%, depending on production volume. Visit the company's booth for a video demonstration of this product in action.
