Solder paste flux is a gelatinous chemical compound used mainly in combination with solder powder to create solder paste, generally mixed as a 50/50 ratio. Once combined, the paste is a gray, putty-like material. Solder paste flux serves a threefold purpose: Removing any oxidized metal from the surfaces to be soldered.
