CX18 NO CLEAN CORED WIRE SOLDER FEATURES Fast Wetting Minimal/Clear Residue Extends Solder Tip Life ROL0 per IPC J-STD-004 REACH and RoHS Compliant* Low Odor / Fumes DESCRIPTION CX18 is a no clean flux core wire solder designed to offer excellent soldering results with all alloys and on all surface finishes. Engineered for high operator satisfaction CX18 is a low odor/smoke HANDLING & STORAGE formula which promotes thermal transfer, and fast wetting without Time Parameters the need for additional flux. CX18 post solder residues are minimal, 7 Years < 85F (< 29C) clear and pass IPC-004A and IPC-004B SIR and corrosion Store cored wire in a clean, dry area away from moisture and requirements. sunlight. Do not freeze this product. STANDARD AVAILABILITY CLEANING CX18 is available in multiple lead-free alloys. Additional alloys and CX18 can be cleaned with commercially available flux diameters may be available upon request. removers. IPA is not recommended. Contact AIM for specific information. APPLICATION Best results are obtained with a properly sized solder iron tip at a SAFETY temperature between 300 - 400C (575 - 750F) for leaded alloys Use with adequate ventilation and proper personal protective and 370 - 425C (700 - 800F) for lead-free alloys. If additional equipment. Refer to the accompanying Safety Data Sheet for any flux is required AIM NC280 liquid flux or NC217 gel flux are specific emergency information. Do not dispose of any recommended. hazardous materials in non-approved containers. *Lead-free.
