Technical data

Directions for use

Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be soldered, removing grease, dirt, oxides and residues from previous processes. As the bar is a monolithic solder alloy without a flux core, a separate flux suitable for the materials and selected soldering technology must be used.

Heat and apply the solder in accordance with the process parameters established for the particular material, flux and joint type. Avoid overheating the alloy and excessive generation of fumes and dust.

Restrictions on use

The Sn60Pb40 alloy contains lead. Before using it in electrical or electronic equipment, verify whether the product or process is subject to restrictions on the use of lead. The solder may be used only where leaded alloys are legally permitted or covered by an applicable exemption.

Safety information

The product contains lead. It may damage fertility and the unborn child and may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Read the current safety data sheet before use.

Ensure effective ventilation, do not breathe dust or fumes, and wear suitable protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection. Do not eat, drink or smoke while soldering. Wash hands thoroughly after completing the work.

Storage

Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from food and out of reach of unauthorised persons. Protect against moisture, contamination and contact with incompatible materials.
