Storage, Handling, and Shelf Life of Solder Preforms, Wire, and Ribbon

Solder preforms, wire, and ribbon are manufactured and packaged to minimize oxidation. Since no container offers complete isolation from oxygen in ambient air, solder will slowly oxidize, which may result in a reduction in wetting.
