A solvent is a liquid that has the ability to dissolve, suspend or extract other materials, without chemical change to the material or solvent. Solvents make it possible to process, apply, clean or separate materials. Water is an inorganic solvent. Organic solvents include hydrocarbon solvents, oxygenated solvents and chlorinated solvents.

As used when referring to fluxes, the ‘solvent’ is the liquid carrier for the flux ingredients, which allows even distribution of the flux material. During the pre-heating of the board the solvent is intended to evaporate, so that little, if any, is present when the board contacts the solder wave. For most fluxes, the solvent is isopropanol and/or some other alcohol.
