Description

  The present invention relates to a base resin for solder flux, a rosin solder flux using the solder flux base resin, and a solder paste using the rosin solder flux.

For surface mounting of a circuit board, for example, a solder paste containing rosin-based solder flux and solder powder is supplied to the electrode pads on the circuit board by a method such as screen printing or dispenser discharge, and a capacitor is provided thereon. A circuit board is mounted by mounting an electronic component such as the above, and the circuit board is heated in a reflow furnace to melt solder powder, and the electronic component and the electrode pad are bonded.

For rosin-based solder flux, natural rosins (gum rosin, wood rosin, tall oil rosin, etc.) are widely used as the base resin (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The reason is that the natural rosins are excellent in the action of removing the oxide film on the surface of the solder powder (cleaning action), the action of preventing reoxidation of the solder powder (hereinafter referred to as base resin action), and the like. It is done.

However, (a) the natural rosin is an abietan-based resin acid (dehydroabietic acid, abietic acid, levopimaric acid, parastolic acid, neoabieticin having two or more conjugated double bonds in the molecule contained therein. Acid) and the like are very easily oxidized, resulting in poor thermal stability such as discoloration and quality deterioration. For this reason, coloring of the flux residue generated in the solder joint or cracking of the flux residue occurs, which causes problems such as difficulty in subsequent cleaning. This problem is particularly serious when lead-free solder powder having a high melting point is used.

In addition, (i) natural rosins have strong crystallinity because of the strong cohesive strength of the resin acid. For this reason, the conventional solder paste tends to thicken with time, and if left for several days, there is a problem that it will be hard to withstand use.

Therefore, (c) it is conceivable to improve the thermal stability by treating the natural rosins with hydrogenation or the like, but generally a complicated process requiring high energy is required, so products (solder flux, solder) There is a problem that the cost of the paste) is increased.

Each base resin was kept warm in a state of being heated and melted at 200 ° C., and the change in Gardner color tone over time (after 5, 15, 24 hours) was measured. A larger color change means that the base resin is inferior in thermal stability and the degree of coloring of the flux residue after soldering becomes stronger. The results are shown in Table 3. The evaluation of the thermal stability of the base resin can be used as an index for estimating the heat resistance of the flux.
