—Handling and Storage Instructions—
- 1. Storage
- (1) Refrigerate pastes at 0~10 °C to prolong shelf life; normal shelf life is 6 months from production date (sealed jars).
- (2) Keep away from direct sunlight.
- 2. Use (Sealed)
- (1) Allow pastes to reach ambient printing temperature prior to use for 3 – 4 hrs. Do not heat or raise temperature abruptly.
- (2) Mix paste well with plastic spatula for 1-3 mins before use. Mixing time depends on tool type.
- 3. Use (Opened)
- (1) At first, add 2/3 jar of solder paste onto the stencil. Do not add more than 1 jar.
- (2) Add a small amount of paste at a time on the stencil according to printing speed.
- (3) It is recommended to finish fresh paste within 24 hrs. To maintain paste quality, make sure not to store used paste and fresh paste in the same jar.
- (4) After printing, it is suggested to place components to be mounted on the circuit board and reflow within 4 – 6 hrs.
- (5) If printing process was interrupted for more than 1 hr, be sure to remove paste remnant from stencil and seal them in the jar.
- (6) It is recommended to keep printing environment at 22~28 °Cand RH of 30~60%.
- (7) To clean up printed circuit boards, it is suggested to use ethanol or isopropanol.
