Study on detinning process of a reflow conductor roll

Adhering tin is the main reason of a reflow conductor roll which works in an electroplating tin line (ETL). A det- inning agent whose main composition is NaOH and KOH and assistant composition is Na2PbO2 or K2PbO2 and NaNO3 or NaNO2 has excellent detinning effects when the temperature of detinning solution is 40-80°C and the temperature of the re- flow conductor roll reaches 40-70°C. After the adhering tin layer of the reflow conductor roll is removed, the roughness of the reflow conductor roll can resume to 4.0 μm, its service life increases by 80%, and the repairing cost decreases by 90%.
