tipi di flussante e di soluzione detergente<br \/>\nLe soluzioni di pulizia possono includere IPA, acqua deionizzata e detergenti chimici speciali creati per dissolvere con successo alcuni residui di flussante. Il tipo di flussante e il metodo di pulizia determinano la soluzione da utilizzare. I flussanti sono classificati in tre tipi principali:<br \/>\n- Flussi a base di colofonia: quella naturale \u00e8 presente anche nei flussanti e deriva da resine naturali. Funziona ma crea molti residui. Produce residui che possono causare potenziali problemi se non vengono puliti correttamente. Anche i residui devono essere puliti con solventi come l'alcool isopropilico e l'IPA, e il PCB deve essere assicurato libero da qualsiasi altra contaminazione.<br \/>\n- Disossidante solubile in acqua: questo tipo di disossidante si pulisce facilmente con acqua e saponi delicati. Si tratta di una soluzione ecologica, poich\u00e9 il flussante si scioglie in acqua. Inoltre, le propriet\u00e0 idrosolubili facilitano la rimozione dei residui di flussante. Assicuratevi per\u00f2 di effettuare una pulizia accurata per evitare qualsiasi rischio di corrosione.<br \/>\n- Disossidante No-Clean: lascia residui minimi e quindi richiede una minore pulizia, anche se a scapito dei requisiti specifici dell'applicazione. Questo tipo di flussante viene utilizzato in applicazioni difficili da pulire.
