Flux pasteIt inherently contains chemical components. Many people need to pay more attention to this aspect when using it. This is still somewhat harmful to people. Under the condition of slow oxidation of tin powder, it undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction with the oxidized part of the tin powder to neutralize the already oxidized tin powder. The flux paste is acidic, generallyPHThe value is2-5Therefore, acidity is considered a type of hazard. Now, JJY solder Paste Manufacturer will explain how we should deal with and prevent this situation:

Lead-free flux paste

The general hazards are as follows: The hazards of the flux isopropyl alcohol are described as follows: Exposure to high-concentration steam can cause headache, drowsiness, ataxia, and irritation to the eyes, nose and throat. The inhalation toxicity of flux mainly harms the human body by inhibiting the central nervous system of the brain, which can cause dizziness, blurred vision and nausea. If the flux is at a high concentration, it may even lead to loss of consciousness. Therefore, when working, everyone should still take protective measures and try not to touch it directly with hands.

I believe everyone should have this awareness of prevention. I believe that for many people, in the nature of their work in this area, such contact is inevitable.

About solder paste,Tin dioxide fumes will be produced when heated,At the same time, rosin and other substances dissolved in the solder paste will also be released,Tin furnaces need to be equipped with local exhaust ventilation. Many factories also conduct annual inspections to measure the concentration of lead fumes and tin dioxide beside the tin furnaces,It generally does not exceed the standards stipulated by the state..

There are a lot of fluxes,The ingredients inside are also different,There are usually rosin and alcohol substances,Avoid inhalation and ingestion. If there are no protective measures at all, it indicates that the environmental safety work in the factory is very poor. At the very least, the operation should be carried out in a well-ventilated environment.In addition, protective equipment such as chemical protective gloves and activated carbon masks should also be provided for work.As an operator,One should also learn to protect oneself,Form good personal hygiene habits,It is essential to ensure that you do not eat or drink during the operation/Wash your hands before meals, etc.
