ALPHA 425

Main features

  • Controlled Flux Property Restoration
  • Specific-Gravity Maintenance Support
  • Long-Interval Process Inventory

Product Description

ALPHA 425 Thinner is a clear, colorless liquid flux thinner used to restore the working condition of compatible ALPHA liquid fluxes after solvent evaporation. It is added in controlled increments until the specified specific gravity or acid number is reached, helping maintain the intended solids balance during production. The liquid has a typical specific gravity of 0.783 +/- 0.005 at 25 deg C and a flash point of 13 deg C. It is a process-control solvent blend rather than a soldering flux and should be used only with fluxes identified as compatible.

Key features

  • Specific-gravity restoration: Controlled additions return compatible liquid fluxes to their specified working range after evaporation.
  • Acid-number process control: The thinner can restore the specified acid number where that control method applies to the compatible flux.
  • Long storage interval: A 1,080-day shelf life supports planned inventory for recurring flux-maintenance operations.

Applications

Applications include maintaining or restoring compatible ALPHA liquid fluxes to the specified specific-gravity or acid-number range.

Mechanical Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Thermal Properties
Flash Point
The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor. Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source.
