WS482 is a water-soluble, halide-free flux-cored wire that is highly active and compatible with water-soluble solder paste chemistries. WS482 offers improved thermal stability, allowing it to be processed with standard or high-temperature alloys. WS482 offers residues that are non-corrosive and therefore may be used without cleaning for applications where conductivity will not cause a problem (such as soldering wires). Post-process residues are safe to remain on many assemblies for up to two to three days.
