Galden® LS/HS Vapor Phase Soldering Fluids

Galden® LS/HS is a family of fully fluorinated fluids specifically designed for vapor phase soldering (VPS) processes. Their narrow molecular weight distribution, combined with the exceptionally strong carbon-fluorine bonds and flexible ether linkages, makes Galden® LS/HS ideal for VPS.

Vapor Phase Soldering and Lead-Free Solder Alloys

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations emphasize the importance of reducing lead content and have driven manufacturers to develop and offer lead-free systems.

 

Lead-free printed circuit boards (PCBs) have played a key role in this transition. Traditionally, solder consisted of approximately 60% tin (Sn) and 40% lead (Pb). Modern lead-free solders use tin alloyed with silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and bismuth (Bi). The melting point of traditional Sn/Pb solder is around 180 °C, while lead-free solders melt at about 227 °C, presenting a challenge for PCB manufacturers. 


In addition to the higher soldering temperature, the miniaturization of devices like smartphones and wearables has led to more complex and densely packed PCBs. These include IC substrates with heterogenous packaging, small chips, and critical heating considerations. Galden® LS and HS fluids provide ideal solutions for all these challenges through vapor phase soldering.
 

Due to their narrow molecular weight distribution, Galden® LS and HS enable VPS with several advantages over alternative technologies:

  • Precise temperature control based on the fluid's boiling point

  • No shadowing effects typical of convection and radiation heating

  • Accurate and uniform heat transfer that prevents overheating and reduces tombstoning

  • Short soldering times that reduce mechanical and thermal stress on components


Why Choose Galden® LS and HS for Vapor Phase Soldering?

Galden® LS and HS fluids offer the optimal solution for lead-free soldering processes because:

  • They are fully compliant with RoHS regulations

  • They have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)

  • They offer the widest operating temperature range, up to 260 °C, to support lead-free soldering
