Residue Removal:
In applications requiring cleaning, RSF-R80 Âux residues can be readily removed using an aqueous saponi‑er cleaning process. Can be removed by wiping with a cloth or with cleaning solvent.
Safety:
RSF-R80 is not considered toxic; however, its use in typical soldering processes will generate a small amount of decomposition and reaction product fumes. These fumes must be adequately exhausted for operator safety and comfort.
