Amtech RMA-223 Flux Paste-Copy
The Amtech RMA-223 Flux Paste-Copy is a cost-effective, high-performance rosin-based flux paste widely used by mobile technicians and electronics hobbyists. Engineered for micro-soldering, BGA reballing, and SMD rework, this flux ensures excellent wetting and prevents oxidation during the soldering process. It is a staple in many repair labs for its balance of performance and affordability.
Key Features Amtech RMA-223 Flux Paste-Copy
1. High-Viscosity Formula
The RMA-223 “Copy” features a thick, honey-like consistency that stays exactly where it is applied. This is particularly beneficial for BGA reballing, as it holds small solder balls in place on the chip stencil before heat is applied, preventing them from bridging or rolling away.
2. Excellent De-Oxidation
This flux is formulated to chemically remove oxidation from copper pads and component leads. By creating a clean metallic surface, it allows solder to flow smoothly (wetting), resulting in shiny, reliable solder joints that are structurally sound.
3. “No-Clean” Properties
While classified as a no-clean flux—meaning the residue left behind is non-corrosive and non-conductive—the residue is minimal. For professional-grade mobile motherboard repairs, a quick wipe with IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) leaves the board looking factory-new.
4. Smoke and Odor Control
Compared to generic local fluxes, this Grade-A copy is designed to produce less irritating smoke. This makes it more suitable for long bench sessions under a microscope, though using a fume extractor is always recommended.

Usage Tips for Professionals
- Dispensing: Use a plunger and a fine needle tip (tapered) to apply precise amounts. A little goes a long way; over-applying can cause components to “float” during hot air rework.
- Temperature Range: This flux activates beautifully between 250°C and 350°C. It maintains its stability without drying out too quickly under the heat gun.
- Storage: Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain the chemical activity of the rosin.
- Cleaning: For a professional “Amazon-listing” look on your repair videos, use a soft ESD brush and 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to remove the slight amber residue after soldering
