Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cleaning flux contains as a solvent 60-98% by weight of one or both of an alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer and an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine. An addition amount of the alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer is within a range of 0-98% by weight and the addition amount of the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine is within the range of 0-98% by weight. The cleaning flux further includes one or both of an organic acid and a halogen compound. The addition amount of the organic acid is within the range of 0-18% by weight and the addition amount of the halogen compound is within the range of 0-4% by weight.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A cleaning flux comprising a solvent having a polarity of dissolving a flux component and a boiling point of 330° C. or higher wherein a volatilization volume occurred at a reflow soldering process is equal to or less than 20% of the whole flux volume. 2 . The cleaning flux according to claim 1 , comprising as the solvent 60-98% by weight of one or both of an alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer and an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine wherein an addition amount of the alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer is within a range of 0-98% by weight and an addition amount of the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine is within the range of 0-98% by weight; and the cleaning flux further comprises one or both of an organic acid and a halogen compound wherein an addition amount of the organic acid is within the range of 0-18% by weight and an addition amount of the halogen compound is within the range of 0-4% by weight. 3 . The cleaning flux according to claim 1 , further comprising 0-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin. 4 . A cleaning solder paste comprising a mixture comprising cleaning flux and solder alloy powder, wherein the flux comprises a solvent having a polarity of dissolving a flux component and having a boiling point of 330° C. or higher, and a volatilization volume occurred in a reflow soldering process is equal to or less than 20% of the whole flux. 5 . The cleaning solder paste according to claim 4 , wherein the cleaning flux comprises as the solvent 60-93% by weight of one or both of an alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer and an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine wherein an addition amount of the alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer is 0-93% by weight and an addition amount of the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine is within the range of 0-93% by weight; and the cleaning flux further comprises one or both of an organic acid and a halogen compound wherein an addition amount of the organic acid is within the range of 0-18% by weight and an addition amount of the halogen compound is within the range of 0-4% by weight. 6 . The cleaning solder paste according to claim 4 , further comprising 5-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin. 7 . A solder joint wherein the joint is formed by using the cleaning flux of claim 1 . 8 . The solder joint according to claim 7 , wherein the joint is formed by using a cleaning solder paste comprising a mixture comprising cleaning flux and solder alloy powder, wherein the flux comprises a solvent having a polarity of dissolving a flux component and having a boiling point of 330° C. or higher, and a volatilization volume occurred in a reflow soldering process is equal to or less than 20% of the whole flux. 9 . The cleaning flux according to claim 2 , further comprising 0-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin. 10 . The cleaning solder paste according to claim 5 , further comprising 5-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin. 11 . The solder joint according to claim 7 , wherein the cleaning flux comprises as the solvent 60-98% by weight of one or both of an alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer and an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine wherein an addition amount of the alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer is within a range of 0-98% by weight and an addition amount of the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine is within the range of 0-98% by weight; and the cleaning flux further comprises one or both of an organic acid and a halogen compound wherein an addition amount of the organic acid is within the range of 0-18% by weight and an addition amount of the halogen compound is within the range of 0-4% by weight. 12 . The solder joint according to claim 7 , wherein the cleaning flux further comprises 0-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin. 13 . The solder joint according to claim 8 , wherein the cleaning flux comprises as the solvent 60-93% by weight of one or both of an alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer and an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine wherein an addition amount of the alkylene oxide-resorcinol copolymer is 0-93% by weight and an addition amount of the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation-added alkylene diamine is within the range of 0-93% by weight; and the cleaning flux further comprises one or both of an organic acid and a halogen compound wherein an addition amount of the organic acid is within the range of 0-18% by weight and an addition amount of the halogen compound is within the range of 0-4% by weight. 14 . The solder joint according to claim 8 , wherein the cleaning solder paste further comprises 5-30% by weight of a thixotropic agent and 0-15% by weight of rosin.
