Termopasty Colophony 40 ml colophony flux for soldering

Termopasty Colophony 40 ml colophony flux for soldering

Termopasty Colophony 40 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 40 ml version in a metal tin is the current manufacturer packaging for article number ART.AGT-034. This is a practical format for users who solder regularly and need more colophony than in a small 20 ml package, but do not require larger industrial packaging.

Applications of Termopasty Colophony 40 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 in electronics servicing and workshop work, but also in technical applications where a colophony solution is required.

What distinguishes Termopasty Colophony 40 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 40 ml metal tin is convenient for storage and everyday use during soldering work.

When to choose Colophony 40 ml

The 40 ml version is worth choosing when colophony is used more often than occasionally and the 20 ml package would be too small. It is a good choice for electronics servicing, workshop use, PCB repairs and regular soldering work.

For small occasional repairs, the 20 ml package may be sufficient. For more intensive use or larger technical applications, the 100 ml, 500 g or 1 kg variants may be a better choice.

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.

FAQ

Is AGT-034 currently 40 g or 40 ml?

The current manufacturer version for ART.AGT-034 is Colophony 40 ml in a metal tin. Older product names may still include 40 g, so the current 40 ml unit should be used in the store.

Is Termopasty Colophony 40 ml a solder paste?

No. It is a colophony flux with activators that supports the soldering process. It does not replace solder alloy or solder paste containing solder alloy.

What is colophony used for in soldering?

Colophony helps reduce oxidation of soldered joints and lowers the risk of cold solder joints. It supports the creation of a proper joint during soldering with tin-lead alloy.

Is Colophony 40 ml suitable for electronics servicing?

Yes. The product is suitable for electronics servicing, workshop use, PCB repairs and regular soldering work where colophony flux is required.

How does the 40 ml version differ from 20 ml and 100 ml versions?

The 40 ml package is an intermediate variant. It is larger than 20 ml, so it works better for regular soldering, but it is smaller and more compact than the 100 ml version.

Can colophony be used as a base for a reference flux?

Yes. The manufacturer indicates that colophony can be used as a base for a reference flux in the form of a 25% solution in isopropyl alcohol.

How should Termopasty Colophony 40 ml be stored?
