MG Chemicals 413B-425G, Heavy Duty Flux Remover, 17 oz. Aerosol, Case of 10
MG Chemicals 413B-425G, Heavy Duty Flux Remover, 17 oz. Aerosol, Case of 10
MG Chemicals 413B-425G Heavy Duty Flux Remover dissolves stubborn, encrusted and baked-on flux residues left after soldering. Its aggressive, fast-drying formula targets rosin, non-rosin and no-clean fluxes, along with ionic and non-ionic contamination. Sold here as a case of 10 aerosols, each with manufacturer-listed net contents of 425 g / 498 mL.
Size clarification: The existing product title uses “17 oz.” MG Chemicals specifies 425 g net weight and 498 mL net volume per aerosol; 17 oz is not confirmed as the can's gross weight. Use the manufacturer-listed net contents when comparing products. These are not packaged shipping weights.
Best Uses / Applications
- PCB repair and rework benches removing difficult soldering residues.
- Electronics assembly maintenance involving hardened or burnt-on flux.
- Targeted spot cleaning in isolated and hard-to-reach areas.
- Cleaning suitable non-component sides of circuit boards where aggressive solvent action is needed.
Material compatibility matters: This is an aggressive cleaner, not a universally plastics-safe product. MG Chemicals directs users seeking plastics-safe alternatives to its 4050A and 4140A flux removers. Check compatibility with plastics, coatings, markings and sensitive parts before application.
Key Features
- Quickly dissolves burnt-on flux and hardened soldering residues.
- Targets rosin, non-rosin and no-clean flux contamination.
- Removes ionic and non-ionic contaminants.
- Fast dry time and zero-residue formulation, as described by the manufacturer.
- Aerosol format for localized cleaning.
- RoHS compliant, as stated in the manufacturer TDS.

Choosing a Flux Remover
| Cleaning requirement | 413B selection guidance |
|---|---|
| Stubborn, baked-on flux | Designed for aggressive removal of difficult residues. |
| Plastic-sensitive assemblies | Do not assume compatibility. Review the manufacturer's 4050A or 4140A alternatives and test the exact materials. |
| Loose dust only | A flux-removing solvent may be unnecessary; select the process for the actual contaminant. |
| Qualified production cleaning | Validate the cleaning method and acceptance criteria for your assembly rather than assuming the formulation alone guarantees a clean board. |
Safe Handling
Read the aerosol SDS before use. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other ignition sources. Avoid breathing mist, vapors or spray. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection as directed by the SDS. Do not spray on an ignition source, and do not pierce or burn the container, even after use. Protect from sunlight and temperatures above 50°C (122°F). Do not use this listing as authorization to clean energized equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What residues does 413B remove?
MG Chemicals lists rosin, non-rosin and no-clean fluxes, including stubborn baked-on residues, plus ionic and non-ionic contamination.
Does “no-clean” flux mean it cannot be removed?
No. The manufacturer specifically includes no-clean flux among 413B's intended cleaning targets. Validate the process on your particular assembly and residue.
Is it safe on all plastics?
No universal compatibility claim is made. 413B is aggressive, and MG Chemicals points to 4050A and 4140A for plastics-safe alternatives. Check the exact substrate and manufacturer's guidance.
How much is included?
This listing contains 10 aerosols. Each can has 425 g net weight and 498 mL net volume according to the TDS.
Why does the title say 17 oz?
That is retained legacy title wording. The current manufacturer source specifies 425 g / 498 mL and does not verify the previous description's claim that 17 oz is gross weight.
Does the cleaner leave residue?
The manufacturer describes fast drying and zero residue. Dissolved contamination still needs to be removed through an appropriate cleaning process; solvent evaporation alone is not proof of assembly cleanliness.
Is this aerosol flammable?
Yes. The SDS identifies it as extremely flammable and warns that the pressurized container may burst if heated. Follow its ignition-control and ventilation precautions.
Where are the technical and safety documents?
The current manufacturer documents reviewed for this listing are hosted below. Use the aerosol SDS for 413B-425G rather than substituting the liquid-product sheet.
