soldering flux holder

Soldering flux is a substance that is used to aid in the soldering process. It is applied to the surface of the metal that needs to be soldered, and it helps to remove any oxides or other contaminants that could prevent a strong bond from forming. The flux also helps to lower the surface tension of the metal, allowing the solder to flow more easily and form a stronger joint. Soldering flux needs to be stored in a refrigerator because it is a liquid and can evaporate over time if left at room temperature. This evaporation can cause the flux to lose its effectiveness, making it difficult to use in the soldering process. In addition, some fluxes contain active ingredients that can break down when exposed to air or heat, so keeping them in a cold environment helps to preserve their effectiveness. In addition to storing soldering flux in a refrigerator, it is also important to use a container to hold it. This is because the flux is corrosive and can cause damage to surfaces if it comes into contact with them. The container should be made of a material that will not react with the flux, such as glass or plastic. It should also have a tight-fitting lid to prevent evaporation and contamination. That's why the holder was designed. Powered by https://3dprintingperth.com/
