Thinner
Description:
Common Flux Thinner is a solvent that is used to thin Water Soluble, No Clean and RMA fluxes in foaming and
some spray applications. Common Flux Thinner is typically used in conjunction with the AIM n.020 Titration
Kit. Use of Common Flux Thinner is suggested when the flux acid number is too high due to solvent evaporation
or residues increase due to evaporation. Follow the instructions outlined in the AIM n.020 Titration Kit
procedure when diluting flux products.
