SN100Ce® FB7 Solder Bar (Refill) with hole and slot – Approx. 4 kg
SN100Ce® FB7 from Balver Zinn is a lead-free replenishment alloy developed specifically for the maintenance of SN100C®-based solder baths. The alloy is designed to keep the solder bath composition within recommended process limits throughout the production cycle and ensure stable soldering properties over time.
This variant is supplied as a solder bar with a hole and slot (FB7) in approx. 4 kg ingots and is suitable for professional wave and selective soldering systems that use SN100C® technology. The specific design makes handling and dosing simple in production environments with high material consumption.
Developed as a replenishment alloy for SN100C®
SN100Ce® is not intended for the initial filling of solder baths. The alloy functions as a copper-reduced replenishment alloy used for the continuous refilling of SN100C® solder baths.
During production, the solder bath naturally absorbs copper from printed circuit boards, component leads, and other materials. SN100Ce® is developed to compensate for this copper input and thereby support a stable alloy composition throughout the entire process.
Stable soldering process and consistent quality
When used correctly, SN100Ce® contributes to:
• Stable copper content in the solder bath
• Consistent soldering properties
• Reduced risk of process variations
• High reproducibility in production
• Long-term process control
• Efficient maintenance of SN100C® processes
This makes the product particularly interesting for companies with high requirements for quality, traceability, and operational reliability.
Suitable for wave and selective soldering
SN100Ce® FB7 is typically used for:
• Refilling of SN100C® solder baths
• Wave soldering
• Selective soldering
• Dip soldering
• Large-scale electronics production
• Industrial electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Production with high requirements for process stability
The alloy functions effectively in both atmospheric air and nitrogen environments.
Reduced oxidation and low dross formation
SN100Ce® contains nickel and germanium, which contribute to stable soldering properties and reduced oxidation of the solder metal. This supports:
• Lower dross formation
• Excellent solder joints
• Improved through-hole filling
• Reduced risk of solder bridges
• More consistent product quality
The result is a stable and economical soldering process with high reproducibility.
