Alpha Intros New Liquid Soldering Flux for PV Tabbing and Stringing Applications
July 31, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Alpha Assembly Solutions is introducing ALPHA PV-38i, its newest liquid soldering flux for PV tabbing and stringing. ALPHA PV-38i is a zero-rosin, no-clean flux specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the photovoltaic industry. This tabbing and stringing flux has the lowest solids formula (1.10%) available in the industry.
"ALPHA PV-38i employs a unique proprietary activator system that limits pollution inside tabbing and stringing equipment and spray nozzles, with practically zero residue present after soldering," said Mike Previti, Global Product Manager for Flux at Alpha Assembly Solutions, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions Group of Businesses. "This formula also allows an extended shelf life versus many other competitive fluxes in the industry."
In addition, the unique chemistry of ALPHA PV-38i provides excellent soldering with fast wetting in standard module assembly processes, employing widely used methods (preheat and soldering) for both spray on cell or dip applications.
