Ultrapure will conform to these requirements when purchased directly or through stocking distributors. Kester is the only
manufacturer of Ultrapure quality solder. Ultrapure conforms to the requirements of J-STD-006 formerly QQ-S-571F.
DOD-STD-2000-1A (Soldering Technology, High Quality/High Reliability) states that it is the responsibility of the manufac-
turer to select those materials and processes that will produce acceptable high quality/high reliability products.
Except where otherwise indicated, the component elements in each alloy shall deviate from their nominal mass percent-
age by not > 0.10% of the alloy mass when their nominal percentage is ≤ 1.0%; by not > 0.20% of the alloy mass when
their nominal percentage is > 1.0% to ≤ 5.0% or by not > 0.50% when their nominal percentage is > 5.0%.

Storage, Handling and Shelf Life
Kester bar solder has an indefinite shelf life when stored in a dry, non-corrosive environment. The surface may lose its
shine and appear a dull shade of gray. This is a surface phenomenon and is not detrimental to product functionality.
Health and Safety
This product, during handling or use, may be hazardous to your health or the environment. Read the Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and warning label before using this product.
