LOCTITE 362 provides the following product characteristics:

Technology Solid flux Application Solder flux

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Good wetting on most common surfaces
• Formulated for general work
• Non-corrosive
• Fast soldering
• Rosin based
• Halide activated

TYPICAL PROPERTIES ALLOYS:

• The alloys used in LOCTITE 362 cored solder wires conform to the purity requirements of the common national and international standards.
• A wide range of wire diameters is available manufactured to close dimensional tolerances. FLUX: LOCTITE 362 solid flux leaves dry and non sticky residues.
• In use, its odor is typically that of rosin fluxes. FLUX PROPERTIES Acid Value, mg KOH/g 170 Halide Content, % <0.5 SIR Test (without cleaning), J-STD-004 PASS J-STD-004 classification ROL1 EN29451-1 classification 1.1.2

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Soldering Iron:

• Good results should be obtained using a range of tip temperatures.
• However, the optimum tip temperature and heat capacity required for a hand soldering process is a function of both soldering iron design and the nature of the task and care should be exercised to avoid unnecessarily high tip temperatures for excessive times.
• A high tip temperature will increase any tendency to flux spitting and it may produce some residue darkening.
• The soldering iron tip should be properly tinned and this may be achieved using LOCTITE cored wire.
• Severely contaminated soldering iron tips should first be cleaned and pre-tinned using Multicore Tip Tinner/Cleaner, then wiped on a clean, damp sponge before re-tinning with LOCTITE cored wire.
