Termopasty Colophony 20 ml colophony flux for soldering

Termopasty Colophony 20 ml colophony flux for soldering

Termopasty Colophony 20 ml is a colophony flux with activators, intended for precise soldering work. The product supports soldering with tin-lead alloy, helps reduce oxidation of soldered joints and lowers the risk of cold solder joints.

The 20 ml version in a metal tin is the current manufacturer packaging for article number ART.AGT-033. It is the smallest format in this series, making it suitable for small repairs, occasional soldering, electronics servicing and work where only a small amount of colophony flux is needed.

Applications of Termopasty Colophony 20 ml

Termopasty Colophony is used as a flux during soldering with tin-lead alloy. The product helps prepare the joint for soldering, supports wetting of soldered surfaces and reduces metal oxidation during work.

The manufacturer also indicates that colophony can be used as a base for a reference flux in the form of a 25% solution in isopropyl alcohol. This makes the product useful not only for typical service work, but also for technical applications where a colophony solution is required.

What distinguishes Termopasty Colophony 20 ml

The key feature of the product is its colophony-based formula with activators, compliant with ISO 9454-1 type 1131 and J-STD-004 ROL0. The product has activity similar to soldering paste, but it is not a solder paste. It acts as a flux supporting the soldering process.

Colophony helps reduce oxidation of soldered joints and lowers the risk of cold solder joints. The 20 ml metal tin is compact, easy to store and practical for precise, point application of flux.

When to choose Colophony 20 ml

The 20 ml version is worth choosing when colophony is needed for small, precise or occasional soldering work. It is a practical solution for electronics servicing, PCB repairs, hobby workshops and workstations where a small and convenient package is preferred.

If colophony is used regularly, the 40 ml or 100 ml version may be a better choice. For larger technical or industrial applications, the manufacturer also offers larger packages such as 500 g and 1 kg.

Important information before use

Colophony is a soldering flux, not a solder alloy. It does not replace solder wire or solder paste containing solder alloy. Its purpose is to support the soldering process by reducing oxidation and improving the conditions for creating a proper joint.

The product should be used according to its intended purpose and with appropriate safety precautions for chemical products used in soldering. Before use, it is recommended to read the technical data sheet and safety data sheet provided by the manufacturer.
