    Solder Mask

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Solder Mask.
    Shield circuit boards from flux, solder, conformal coatings, and high temperatures. Heat resistant up to 640° F, solder mask is most often used to protect open through-holes and components during wave soldering. Solder mask can also act as a short-term adhesive to keep parts in place when you’re soldering a two-sided SMT circuit board. An alternative to masking tapes that require cutting to shape, solder mask flows easily into small spaces and doesn’t leave a residue when removed.
    Wash-Away Removal—Choose wash-away solder mask if you use a water-based cleaning process such as a batch or in-line cleaning system.
    Peel-Away Removal—Choose peel-away solder mask if you use a solvent-based cleaning process or don’t clean your circuit boards.
    15 min. Overall Dry Time—Solder mask with a 15-min. overall dry time cures more evenly than peel-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time, so it can be applied in thick layers. It's also nonflammable.
    1 hr. Overall Dry Time—Peel-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time produces low odors because it doesn’t contain ammonia. Wash-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time is nonflammable. It's not completely water soluble, so it can’t be used in closed-loop cleaning systems.
    2 hr. Overall Dry Time—Solder mask with a two-hr. overall dry time is completely water soluble for use in closed-loop cleaning systems. It's slightly flammable.
