Indium Corporation has introduced CW-501, reportedly the first Colophony-(Rosin)free, no-clean, cored wire solder for use with Pb-free alloys. The company has adapted its industry-leading solder paste technology for use in a cored wire solder to develop CW-501, a product that contains no rosin, a known allergen. CW-501 comes in a variety of alloys and wire diameters. It provides excellent wetting and solder spread with minimal smoking and low odor. CW-501 solders comparably to no-clean or RMA rosin-containing cored wires, and is compatible with the company’s latest line of no-clean products, including wave fluxes and Indium8.9.
“CW-501 solders as well as the best rosin-containing cored wire solders, while being rosin-free,” said Tim Jensen, solder paste product manager. “These, as well as our halogen-free products, are growing in importance as the industry moves toward more environmentally-friendly products.
We are excited to be able to offer this product to our customers.” CW-501 and all of the company’s bar, wire, and wave flux products are manufactured at its, ISO-9000 certified Chicago Manufacturing Division (CMD) facility, in Elk Grove Village, IL. Established in late 2006, the CMD facility has the latest solder manufacturing equipment and employs solder and flux manufacturing personnel with more than 150 combined years of solder making experience.
