  • Patent number: 11833620
    Abstract: Provided are flux in which solder wettability is improved, and a solder paste in which the flux is used. The flux contains 0.5-20.0 wt % of a (carboxyalkyl)isocyanurate adduct, and 5.0-45.0 wt % of a rosin, and furthermore contains a solvent. The (carboxyalkyl)isocyanurate adduct is a mono(carboxyalkyl)isocyanurate adduct, a bis(carboxyalkyl)isocyanurate adduct, a tris(carboxyalkyl)isocyanurate adduct, or a combination of two or more of these.

  • Patent number: 11738415
    Abstract: A flux for soldering contains 10 to 40 wt % of coumarin, 5 to 30 wt % of a monoamide-based thixotropic agent and 40 to 80 wt % of a solvent. A solder paste contains the flux and a solder powder. A method for producing a soldered product includes supplying the solder paste to a soldering portion of an electronic circuit board, mounting an electronic component onto the soldering portion and heating the soldering portion up to a temperature at which the solder powder melts in a reducing atmosphere containing a reducing gas to join the electronic component and the electronic circuit board.

  • Patent number: 11571771
    Abstract: If a flux contains an amount of thixotropic agent necessary for obtaining the effect of suppressing a heating sagging, the amount of flux residue increases, and, if applied for uses that do not involve washing, a large amount of flux residue derived from the thixotropic agent remains around the soldered portions, thereby affecting chemical and electrical reliability; and that washing performance is poor in uses involving washing of the flux residue. Accordingly, this soldering flux contains nanofibers of one or more kinds from among polysaccharides, modified polysaccharides, and incompletely modified polysaccharides being modified from polysaccharides into modified polysaccharides, by an amount of 50 wt ppm or more and 3000 wt ppm or less with respect to a total amount of flux.

  • Publication number: 20220331916
    Abstract: A solder paste includes a solder powder and a flux. The flux includes a rosin, an activator, a solvent, and a thixotropic agent containing a polyethylene glycol. A content of the polyethylene glycol is 10 mass % to 20 mass % with respect to a total mass of the flux, a content of the thixotropic agent excluding the polyethylene glycol is 5 mass % or less with respect to the total mass of the flux, and a content of the rosin is more than 15 mass % and 50 mass % or less with respect to the total mass of the flux.

  • Publication number: 20220127445
    Abstract: Provided are: a resin composition for soldering use, which has excellent compatibility with a rosin-based resin and excellent temperature cycle reliability and is therefore suitable for a flux for soldering use; and a soldering composition and a flux cored solder, in each of which the resin composition for soldering use is used. The resin composition for soldering use comprises: an acrylic resin having a number average molecular weight of 500 or more and less than 2000 as determined by mass spectrometry using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer; and a rosin-based resin, a polyethylene-based resin or a polypropylene-based resin. Alternatively, the resin composition for soldering use comprises: an acrylic resin having a weight average molecular weight of 500 or more and less than 2000 as determined by mass spectrometry using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer; and a rosin-based resin, a polyethylene-based resin or a polypropylene-based resin.

  • Patent number: 10632492
    Abstract: A defect may occur in which as the amount of fluid discharged by a fluid discharge device decreases, a mask is not filled with the fluid even when the fluid is discharged. In order to fill a workpiece with the fluid, it is necessary to replace air in the workpiece corresponding to a discharge part with the fluid. The air in the workpiece is removed in advance, thereby filling the workpiece with the discharged fluid. A fluid discharge device in which, at one end of a discharge head, a suction port for sucking air in the mask on the workpiece, and a fluid discharge device having a discharge nozzle formed thereon for discharging the fluid are formed is used.

  • Patent number: 10160064
    Abstract: A purpose of the present invention is to provide a flux having an improved cleaning property by suppressing a carbonization of a flux residue. A flux contains an organic acid, a thixotropic agent, rosin and a solvent wherein a fatty acid monoalkylol amide having 14-20 carbon atoms is contained as the thixotropic agent. The fatty acid monoethanol amide is added in an amount of 3-10% by weight as the thixotropic agent. In addition, a dicarboxylic acid having 10 or less carbon atoms is added in an amount of 4-10% by weight as the organic acid. Moreover, the solvent is added in an amount of 30-60% by weight.
