Flux removes impurities and helps the solder flow. You're actually supposed to use flux and paste when reflowing a BGA. It's the reason for the heat soak before reflowing the solder, to evaporate the solvent that suspends the flux. Otherwise the solder can spatter. You use flux whenever soldering period.
