Plato® Tip Cleaning
Sponges
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 period of time and meet MIL-STD-2000
(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.
MAN-MADE 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..
