Plato®
Tip Cleaning Sponges
|
Plato
"Price Saver" sponges expand to 5/8" and offer the
same quality as our "Premium" sponges at a fraction of
the cost.
|
Tip wiping sponges serve two main
functions: to remove surface oxides which form on the tip, and to wipe the excess
solder from the tip, exposing the tip point definition and offering the operator a well
defined tip with which to solder.
Plato sponges are manufactured with all natural
materials to exacting specifications. Pure cellulose (a wood derivative) is
used. Cellulose is selected for its ability to hold many times its weight in water
and for its resistance to abrasion and tearing forces which occur during the tip wiping
process.
Plato sponges are designed to a thickness which will hold water for long periods of time
and meet ANSI (J-STD-001B) for low sulphur content and fine porosity.
CAUTION: Many "economy sponges" are
manufactured with man-made fibers and materials typically found in non-industrial
(household) type sponges. These sponges contain colorings, sizings, plasticizers,
stiffeners, and other contaminants which will promote detinning and short tip life.
SYNTHETIC SPONGES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE AS TIP CLEANING
SPONGES.
Use only Plato all natural sponges to aid in keeping your solder
tips well tinned and extend tip life..
