Rosin Free Reports

Warton have spent considerable time and investment, testing Rosin Free Solder Wires.

 Fume Data - Tests were conducted at Warton Metals Laboratory to calculate the weight loss of Omega fume at various flux contents, soldering temperatures and contact times.

Tip Extraction Data - Using a Purex Tip Extraction System courtesy of Hi-Tech UK Ltd. A study was made of the effects Omega has on blocking tip extraction pipes in comparison to various rosin based cored solder wires.

The diagram below shows Omega as the standard, and that a conventional 3% Rosin  Cored Solder would deposit nearly 6 times the amount of fume within the tip extraction pipes.  

Filter Damage  - Using a Purex Tip Extraction System courtesy of Hi-Tech UK Ltd. and with the assistance of Sheffield University a study was made of the effect on filters of Omega fume in comparison of rosin fume. Using equivalent Flux % Cored Wires and the same quantity of wire photographs were produced at 2000x magnification to show both types of fume.

  The nature of rosin fume on extraction system filters The nature of Omega fume on extraction system filters.

The photographs show that the  greater damage occurs with the rosin fume due to its glutinous nature, therefore reducing the filters potential life.
