Default Re: Liquid flux

Looking at the data sheets for the two products the only substantive difference seems to be that no cleaning is required after use with the RF800. Even so it's stated that the TK83 is non-corrosive and doesn't need to be removed after use. The impression I get is that the RF800 is designed for mass production and that the TK83 is aimed at the repair/re-work user. Both products are based on rosin (sometimes referred to as colophony).

I should say that I've never used either and dissolve a little solid rosin in a suitable solvent when needed which isn't very often.
