Abstract

A coating composition for use in protecting metal, and for use as a soldering flux, and methods involving the same. A coating for circuit boards and processes involving the same. One coating material can serve as a metal corrosion inhibitor, a no-clean soldering flux, and/or a protective coating in replacement of a conformal coating. In its most preferred form, this invention serves all three functions in the manufacture of an electrical circuit board.
