is proud to announce the launch of NF372-TB Flux-Pen® and RF550 Rework Flux. These products were formulated to compliment Kester’s high-reliability, no-clean product line.
NF372-TB Flux-Pen® is a zero-halogen, no-clean,
low solids flux available as a Flux-Pen® for rework of conventional and surface mount
circuit board assemblies. Kester NF372-TB flux passes IPC SIR testing in a raw
or unheated state, ensuring Kester NF372-TB Flux-Pen®s can be safely used in rework
applications, specifically those with high reliability requirements. NF372-TB
Flux-Pen® residues are minimal, clear
and non-tacky for improved cosmetics. NF372-TB Flux-Pen® is classified as ROL0 flux
under IPC J-STD-004B. For

RF550 Rework Flux is a high-reliability, zero-halogen, no-clean
rework flux designed for electronic component rework and repair applications.
RF550 has a gel-like consistency and is packaged in syringes for easy
dispensing. RF550 can be precisely dispensed onto specific areas that require
flux. After being dispensed, RF550 stays in place until soldering occurs. RF550
has excellent performance in applications requiring high reliability. RF550 is
the ideal choice for QFP or BGA semi-automated rework applications, and is
well suited for use with through-hole repair. For additional information on this
