Germanium Pellets DESOXY RSN Sn99Ge1 – 250 g
DESOXY RSN from Balver Zinn is a specially developed germanium additive for the maintenance and optimization of lead-free solder baths. The product consists of pure tin alloyed with 1% germanium (Sn99Ge1) and is supplied as pellets in a convenient 250g package, making dosing and handling easy in production environments.
DESOXY RSN is used to reduce oxidation and dross formation in lead-free solder baths and is specially developed for SN100C®-based soldering processes, where germanium plays a crucial role in the solder bath's stability and performance.
Reduces oxidation and dross formation
During the operation of lead-free solder baths, germanium is gradually consumed, especially in processes without a nitrogen atmosphere. When the germanium content decreases, the formation of oxides and dross increases, which can affect both process economics and solder quality.
DESOXY RSN helps restore and stabilize the germanium content in the solder bath, contributing to:
• Reduced oxidation of the solder
• Lower dross formation
• Less material waste
• Improved process economy
• More stable soldering properties
• Consistent soldering results
Optimized for SN100C® solder baths
DESOXY RSN is developed specifically for use with SN100C® alloys, where germanium is used to reduce oxidation and improve process stability.
With regular dosing, the product can help to:
• Maintain correct germanium content
• Stabilize the solder bath chemistry
• Reduce the need for maintenance
• Improve solder quality
• Extend solder bath life
This makes the product particularly relevant for companies with continuous wave or selective soldering.
Pellets for precise dosing
The pellet form allows for easy and precise dosing directly into the solder bath.
The advantages of pellets include:
• Easy handling
• Rapid dissolution in the solder bath
• Precise dosing
• Easy storage
• Suitable for regular maintenance
After addition, it is recommended that the solder bath pump or circulation runs to ensure homogeneous distribution of germanium throughout the bath.
Suitable for modern electronics production
DESOXY RSN is typically used for:
• Wave soldering
• Selective soldering
• Lead-free solder baths
• SN100C® processes
• Industrial electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Electronics production in larger series
• High-volume production
The product supports stable production processes and reduces costs associated with oxidation and dross.
