<strong>ALPHA</strong> <strong>THINNERS</strong>FOR FLUXES AND PROTECTIVE COATINGSDESCRIPTIONAlpha thinners are carefully balanced blends of proprietary materials, specifically formulated to restore Alphasoldering chemicals to peak performance.FUNCTIONThe solvent system is an important factor in determining the effectiveness of soldering chemicals. On exposureto air, solvents contained in most soldering chemicals begin to evaporate, thus changing the physical propertiesof the original material. Evaporation loss may adversely affect the surface tension, wetting power and overallquality of the material.To restore the soldering chemical to its original consistency and maintain maximum product efficiency, only therecommended compatable thinning materials should be used.APPLICATIONInformation on thinning is given in the Technical Bulletin for each soldering chemical.RECOMMENDED <strong>THINNERS</strong>FLUX THINNER FLASH POINT °C S.G. @ 20°C ± .005A83 425 12 0.787100 446 16 0.815102-1500 None Required - -320-33 None Required - -615-25 443 14 0.786711-35 412 14 0.791850 450 12 0.787881 810 18 0.799NOTE : Thinner 446 may be used in all cases where thinner 411 was previously specified.
