Storage and use of solder paste

Solder paste (solder paste) is a commonly used material in the electronic assembly process, and its storage and use methods are critical to ensuring soldering quality and performance. The following are the detailed storage and usage methods:

Storage method: It should be put into the refrigerator for storage as soon as possible after receipt, and the recommended storage temperature is 0~10℃. Too high a temperature will correspondingly shorten its service life and affect its characteristics; unopened solder paste in 0 ~ 10 ℃ under normal sealed storage conditions, the expiration date of 4 ~ 6 months; different types, batch numbers, manufacturers of solder paste should be stored separately; paste should follow the principle of first-in-first-out; storage, it should be kept sealed, to avoid oxidation of moisture; storage containers: the paste should be stored in a sealed form, to avoid external contamination and Oxidation. During storage, the packaging of solder paste should be kept intact as much as possible.

Usage: The solder paste should be stored in the refrigerator after purchase, and the principle of first-in-first-out should be followed. Before use, the solder paste should be placed at room temperature to warm up, the time is about 4 to 8 hours, after warming before use need to be fully stirred, stirring time is generally 3 to 5 minutes; solder paste purchased, need to be affixed with the date of purchase in order to distinguish between different batches. According to the SMT chip processing orders need to control the use of solder paste cycle, the inventory is generally controlled within 30 days. The solder paste should be stored separately according to different types, batch numbers and different manufacturers.

Solder paste should be stored in sealed form to prevent it from being exposed to air leading to volatilization of active substances. Avoid direct sunlight: Solder pastes should not be placed in sunlight to avoid efficient volatilization of their active substances. During the solder paste handling process, it is important to achieve safety stock to ensure that the solder paste is used up within its expiry date.

By following the above precautions, you can ensure that the solder paste maintains its stable performance during storage and provides reliable protection for soldering work.
