SMFL/SMF
Surface Mount Rework Flux
SMFL is a quick drying, mildly activated (RMA-type), no-clean flux in aerosol form for use when removing and
replacing surface mount components. The aerosol is fitted with a wide angle actuator to give a protective film
and an extension tube actuator for pinpoint application. Particularly recommended for precision products e.g.
telecommunications or professional computers where a high degree of reliability is required.

Directions for Use
Application of SMFL to solder joints will aid reflow when heating to remove components.
After removing components excess solder should be removed from solder pads using Electrolube Desolder
Braid aided by the application of SMFL.
SMFL should be applied to solder pads for placement of new components, with hot air or hot gas, or using
conventional solder and iron.
SMFL can also be used as an anti-tarnish, protective film on bare copper or tinned tracks providing excellent
solderability for up to six months.
