Flux Remover Market to Witness Comprehensive Growth | 2025
Flux
removers, also known as defluxers, are chemicals that help remove
flux residues and other impurities left on the printed circuit boards
during the manufacturing process, repair work, or any other process
occurring. The residues or impurities left over the printed circuit
board need to be cleaned or removed, as they can lead to short
circuits, corrosion, degradation, and destruction of printed circuit
boards. Flux is also used as a flowing agent or purifying agent in
various other applications apart from cleaning agent. It has more
than one function. A few examples of the earliest known fluxes are
carbonate of soda, potash, charcoal, coke, lime, etc.

Report Overview @
Based
on composition, the flux remover market can be segmented into
activators, vehicles, solvents, and additives. Activators are
chemicals that disrupt or dissolve metal oxides present on the
surface of the product it is used for, and expose the unoxidized,
easily wettable surface. Vehicles are flux remover chemicals that are
available as non-volatile liquids or solids with appropriate melting
points. Vehicles act as an oxygen barrier and protect the hot metal
surface against oxidation. Solvents are chemicals that are added to
the manufacturing process to help facilitate the process. It helps in
carrying out the manufacturing process smoothly. The excess solvents
that are present in the process dry out due to the heat. Additives
are chemicals such as surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers,
etc., that are added to the flux to alter or modify its properties.
Activators and additives are majorly used chemicals for making of
flux removers, as activators play the initial role of cleaning the
surface and additives add to the properties by protecting the surface
from corrosion and other external reactions.
Based
on flux type, the flux remover market can be segmented into resins,
organic, and inorganic substances. The resin segment can be further
sub-segmented into rosin and without rosin. The organic segment can
be further split into water-soluble and water-insoluble. The
inorganic segment can be further sub-segmented into salts, acids, and
alkaline. The rosin flux type is the majorly consumed type of flux
remover, as it is non-corrosive in nature and does not hamper the
process. The Organic flux type is weakly corrosive in nature, while
the inorganic flux type is strongly corrosive. The inorganic flux
type contains salts, acids, and alkaline, therefore the inorganic
flux type is more vulnerable to corrosion, as a result the segment
type is least in demand.
Based
on region, the flux remover market can be segmented into North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East &
Africa. Asia Pacific accounted for a major share of flux remover
market, followed by North America and Europe. Asia Pacific has a
large number of metallurgy plants located especially in China and
India. Increasing Industrialization and rising usage of machinery
across various domains is projected to boost the demand for flux
removers across the region. Furthermore, China and India are
witnessing a rise in production and demand for electronics, which is
anticipated to propel the flux remover market. A large number of
manufacturers of flux removers are located in Asia Pacific. Latin
America and Middle East & Africa accounted for a lesser share, as
compared to the other regions in 2016; however, the demand for the
product in the regions are projected to rise at a rapid CAGR as
compared to others.
