WHAT SETS SUPERIOR SOLDER PASTES APART?

• All are non-halide.
• All have a minimum 12 hour open-time between
  printing, placement, and reflow.
• All are formulated for high-speed dispensing.
• All No-Clean and RMA pastes can be aqueous
  cleaned in Superior SyberKleen 2000 Saponifier .
• NO slumping.
• NO tomb-stoning when stencil and reflow profile
  are properly set.
• NO white residues on PCBs.
• All Paste should be frozen or refrigerated for
  storage.

13
WHAT SETS SUPERIOR SOLDER PASTES APART? (cont.)

• Consistent rheology, thixotropy, and viscosity
  from lot-to-lot.
• Consistent, clear, pin-testable residues with all
  No-Cleans.
• Consistent metal-load due to no pre-thinning or
  post-thinning manufacturing process.
• 4000 Series Synthetic No-Clean residues act as
  protective barrier against humidity and outside
  elements.
• 8000 Series Water-Soluble residues can be washed
  any time after reflow. SIR values remain the
  same when PCBs are cleaned three (3) minutes or
  three (3) days after reflow.
