STANNOL
®
- Kolophonium
Pure Rosin
Description
STANNOL -Kolophonium
®
is Rosin also referred to as Colophony. It is produced from pine trees. Rosin or
colophony is he solid content of tree gum which has been gathered from the trees. After separation of the
liquid turpentine by a distillation process the remaining solid is pure rosin.
Properties
Rosin is an amber transparent solid and is brittle at ambient temperatures. The main constituents are abietic
and pimaric acid and its isomers minimum of 95%. The remainders are fatty acids and other organic
compounds. The melting range of rosin is between 80-100°C.
Application
STANNOL -Kolophonium:
®
Rosin is used in various fields: For joining of electronics as a component
of flux for soft soldering, both in the flux core in solder wire, the flux for wave soldering and solder
pastes for in the SMD technology. Pure Rosin is used only for soldering of pure metal surfaces. For
oxidized surfaces only activated rosin can be used.
Properties for use in the electronics
• Reacts as a weak acid with metal oxides
• Absorbs oxygen
• Soluble in a variety of organic solvents
• Insoluble in water
• Liquid at soldering temperature
• Chemically resistant to water
• Excellent electrical insulation
