The Hessian flux specialist Emil Otto GmbH launched the water-based flux EO-G-006 back in 2023. This is a No Clean-Flux is suitable for wave, manual, and selective soldering of printed circuit boards.

In 2023, the Hessian flux specialist Emil Otto introduced the water-based flux EO-G-006. 

Emil Otto is expanding its metal chemistry product portfolio for soft soldering with the introduction of ZINNIN Green soldering and tinning pastes.

At productronica 2023, Emil Otto is showcasing an enlarged selection of flux gels tailored for PCB rework.

Due to the strong market development, the German flux specialist Emil Otto GmbH will exhibit for the first time at the Intersolar Europe in Munich. 

Emil Otto has developed various products that can be used in electronics manufacturing for both the manual cleaning of work surfaces and the manual and mechanical cleaning of floors.

The product category flux concentrates of the German flux manufacturer Emil Otto now includes 17 granulate products. For the first time, Emil Otto now presents a liquid concentrate that can be mixed with water or alcohol and can be used for the tinning process in the electronics industry and mechanical engineering.

Emil Otto has extended its GSP fluxes family, enhancing both the performance spectrum as well as the shelf life of the flux product line.

A hybrid flux EO-Y-014 designed for wave and selective soldering has been introduced by Emil Otto.

The spreading coronavirus is impacting on the production of alcohol-based fluxes for electronics manufacturing. Rising prices and even sold out stocks are the latest developments. Water-based or hybrid fluxes, with low alcohol additions, are moving into focus as a market-independent alternative for use in electronics production.

The productronica 2019 exhibition in Munich (November 12-15) will provide the platform for Emil Otto to debut its Flux Cover PFS-001 developed for the surface protection of component connections.

Emil Otto GmbH  has introduced an alcohol-water-based flux which is also obtainable as a granulate-based concentrate.The hybrid EO-Y-004 flux was developed for use in wave and selective soldering and exhibits a solids content of 3.5% to 3.7%. That it has been developed for use in wave and selective soldering makes it suitable for a broad range of applications.

These are multi-fluxes, which can be used for various soldering tasks. Manual and dip soldering are used at many companies in addition to the wave and selective soldering process. Emil Otto GmbH's alcohol-based fluxes are designed for this broad application spectrum.

During 2016, Emil Otto GmbH added ESD products, SMD adhesives, and cleaning rolls for automatic stencil printers to its product portfolio. According to the company, it plans an entire series of new fluxes by SMT 2017.

Hand- and dip-soldering are used at many companies in addition to the wave- and selective-soldering process. Emil Otto GmbH will introduce specific fluxes for each of these applications with the properties in the assortment aligned with the applications.

Water-based fluxes are still considered 'problematic' in many areas – which is wrong according to Emil Otto. As well as being equivalent to alcohol-based fluxes from a soldering perspective, they are environmentally friendly because they are free of VOCs. Emil Otto GmbH has developed a water-based flux for selective soldering as part of its Green Line series and it will be introduced at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2016.    

For the first time Emil Otto GmbH took part in this year's international productronica trade fair in Munich. In addition to its standard products, the company from the Rheingau presented to the specialist audience the product group of combi-soldering fluxes for wave and selective soldering as well as the SMD adhesives of its Belgian partner, Roartis for the first time.

Sustainability and awareness of ecological responsibility are part of a modern company philosophy these days. This involves not just efficient use of resources but also the use of environmentally compatible products. Environmentally friendly alternatives are therefore sought especially with chemical products.
