Lead-Free Tip Cleaning Paste

The Hakko FS100-01 is a lead-free cleaning paste designed to remove oxidation and re-tin soldering iron tips. It extends tip life and contains no di-ammonium phosphate, making it safe for all tip types. Electronics technicians and hobbyists use it to maintain consistent heat transfer during soldering work.

Simple Application Process

Apply a small amount of paste to the heated tip and wipe clean to restore the surface. The fine aluminum oxide compound acts quickly without damaging the plating. Common issues arise when users apply paste to cold tips or use excessive force, which can wear the tip prematurely instead of cleaning it.

Compatibility With Your Iron

Verify that your soldering station reaches a temperature sufficient to activate the cleaning compound. The product works with standard tips and pairs with the FT-700 polisher for heavier oxidation. Buyers who need a liquid flux or a tip tinner with different chemical properties should select an alternative product.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the paste is re-tinning my oxidised tip properly?

After heating the tip and applying the paste, the surface should become shiny and accept solder smoothly, showing the oxidation has been removed and the tip is re-tinned.

What does the package contain and is anything else required?

The package contains one 100 % lead-free cleaning paste unit; the manufacturer notes enhanced results when combined with the FT-700 polisher, which is sold separately.

Which capacity or version of this paste should I choose?

Only the single 100 % lead-free FS100-01 paste is offered, so there are no alternative capacities or versions to select.
