    Amtech nc559-v3-tf fake or original

    Good Day.

    today i have received 3x30cc amtech nc559-v3-tf from their UK distributor.. the flux i received us orange in color which resembles to most of the fake fluxes.

    does anyone has seen the original flux or they may have already bought..? can you compare if the flux i received is authentic..?

    See picture please..

    Mine is more clear/pale yellow and is genuine.
    Genuine Amtech smells nice when it gets hot.
    Where did you get yours from?

      pretty sure there is no V3 from Amtech,
      also they put the label up near the rear and not centered.

      where did you buy it?

          I got mine from "pep-cd@hotmail.co.uk" I got UK distributor recommendation from Inventicusa when i wanted to order from then. they reffered me to their UK distributor and today i got the package and i saw this translucent orange colored flux. I dont know if its the original or some low quality. i just dont like this orange color. Does yours is also translucent..? man. this fake flux issue gives me always headaches. pay 34 euro per 30cc and then you receive some shit

                    Northridgefix are Amtech distributors in the US and have this note on their website.
                    We are an official distributer and one of the largest resellers of Amtech Flux. Be careful buying Amtech flux off Amazon, eBay or Aliexpress or Amtech labeled as V3. It’s not genuine.

                    Maybe it's a European thing?

                      Ok its possible. . but why does Inventec employee replied to my email stating that its an original flux. our v3 version. eventhou i just did some soldering with it and it does reponds very wel. exellent wetting. long acting. where v2 burns and converts to black sot. it stays liquid and work.

                      soldered nuvoton nct6798D multicontrolller in one go with drag sodering. got 1 bridge so far.

                      Now the question is. if there is no V3 even exist.. then what is this Inventec and their distributor confirmed to be their latest flux and the did asked me to feedback on this flux

                      Any idea's ??

                      about the color. it seems to be orange. but its more like paul yellow. since its a 30cc tube thats why it gives more orange like tint.

                        All confusion is cleared. I did received an original authentic product. Since Inventec sent an email that it is not yet officailly launched. But mess is made by AmtechDirect which they are dealing with. Northbridgefix is contacted about the new flux but they did not responded. says Invenec.

                        As for info on their site about the flux, He sent me a folder. In international site it is already mentioned but not on usa site since lazy updates.

                        Do anyone says no V3 is existed. Yes it is and there it is.. My confusion was also due to the no availability as bulk. Simply saying is still in trial.

                        As i said before. wetting is perfect. Causes no soot after prolonged heating. perfect for drag soldering. Just reballed RTX3090 and its amazing.. Got cleaned with isopropyl and board was looking like no flux is used.

                        All of this discussion was just out of curiosity but in real world the flux doperform very wel.

                        Thanks for all your time..

                        Cheers

                            Inventec stopped making NC-559-V2-TF in 2018 only made NC-559-ASM-TF with a label from NC-559-V2-TF, Amtech Direct restored the V2 formula and introduced the V3 which has nothing to do with Inventec.
                            There is a series of demonstration videos explaining the difference on Youtube and the difference between the products.

                              Amtechdirect is run by morons.. last time ordered 4x 30CC 559asm and got 4 tubes all different in color. 1 was yellow.. 2nd was orange. 3rd was white and 4th was translucent yellow.. thats when i stopped ordering from them..

                              Inventic legit distributor in UK sells 35 pounds per 30CC + shipping and tax makes it 70 euro per 30cc..rediculous..

                              Is there any other brand which works like the sams but a bit cheaper..?

                              Thanks
