A method and composition for protecting and enhancing the solderability of a metallic surface. A mixture which includes a chosen protective material and a dicarboxylic acid fluxing agent is applied to the metallic surface to form a protective film or coating which also enhances the solderability of the metallic surface. The mixture is applied to the metallic surface as a solution having a solvent carrier which evaporates to leave the film. The film is heat activated at soldering temperatures to release the fluxing agent.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 23, 1990 and granted May 12, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 23, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 23, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
