The flux residues are non-corrosive, non-conductive and do not require removal in most applications under normal conditions of use. IPA will not clean the residues off the surface of the circuit board after the soldering process. If removal is required, a saponifier or cleaning agent specifically designed to clean a no-clean flux is required to clean the residues.

Review: 48 flux core!!! - Great solder. However, it is 3.3% 48 flux cored not 275. I thought it was 275 when I ordered it. Flux 48 is activated rosin flux. 275 is No clean rosin. Please consider 275 rosin if you are working on super sensitive equipment. Otherwise, flux 48 is wet and easier to use. It is no clean and safe for most non-sensitive equipment according to the manufacture flyer.
Review: Highly recommend this lead-free solder. - Another great Kester product. Commercial grade, high quality solder. Hubby bought it because he wanted to move away from lead-containing solder and this lead-free product is perfect. It's composition is 96% tin and 3% silver with rosin flux. He tried it out replacing a capacitor and transistor in an old FM tuner and said it flowed smoothly and the transition to using a lead-free type solder was easy and hassle free. Overall a great product he highly recommends.
