Brazing Flux Product Range & Grades

Aluminum brazing flux from the industry’s leading provider

IMPROVE ALUMINUM BRAZING EFFICIENCES

Jet Applied Brazing Flux (JABF) can accelerate manufacturing of EV, Wind, Turbine, Solar Panel, and EV Charging Station heat exchangers, while reducing waste, energy, and labor costs. Pinpoint accuracy enables up to 85% less flux consumption, prevents flux from entering coolant channels, and can eliminate the post-brazing wash process.

Our Aluminum brazing flux paste, paint, powder, and blends portfolio is constantly expanding to complement our existing range of high quality, consistent, and reliable fluxes—serving customers in a wide range of industries including:

  • Automotive
  • Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning cooling (HVAC)
  • Industrial equipment
  • Heavy duty vehicles
  • Aerospace
  • Brazing consumables
  • White goods

Advantages of Solstice Advanced Materials Brazing Flux

Solstice Potassium Fluoroaluminate flux (AL-2805) enables a more robust and efficient brazing process when compared to other fluxes and is characterized by a uniform amorphous and less abrasive morphology, and a high reactivity with aluminum oxide.

A lower flux melting point of 552 (± 3.0°C)

Solstice Potassium Fluoroaluminate flux (AL-2805) has a unique multi-constituent phase, with amorphous amounts, providing a melting point of 552 ± 3.0°C. This melting point is 25 °C lower than the eutectic melting point of an Al-Si filler metal.

Customer Benefits:

  • Low melting point
  • Reduced corrosion and abrasion
  • Controlled and narrow particle size distribution
  • Excellent free-flow and dispersion properties

Customer Benefits:

  • Wider flux reactivity range
  • Up to 20% extra time for improved cleaning and oxide removal
  • Energy savings drive eco-balance and reduces cost
  • Higher reactivity enables lower flux loading
  • Robust brazing process

 

A more controlled and narrow particle size distribution

Aluminum flux features controlled particle sizes to meet and exceed customer product and process requirements:

  • Narrow particle size distribution
  • High batch-to-batch consistency
  • Fast and complete dispersion in solution and slow settling
  • Leading to reduced corrosion and abrasion

Customer Benefits

  • Homogeneous distribution on parts and in paints / pastes
  • Easy and fast dispense due to uniformity of particles
  • No plugging of nozzles and pipes
  • No material loss on filters
  • No yield loss due to assembly defects
  • Uniform surface coverage
  • Robust application process
