Designed for Aluminum Soldering
Specialized Flux Chemistry
Aluminum rapidly develops a tough oxide layer that can interfere with solder wetting. Stay-Clean Aluminum Flux is formulated specifically for aluminum soldering to help prepare the joint surface and promote proper solder flow.
Low-Temperature Joining
The flux operates in the temperature range associated with compatible aluminum soldering alloys, allowing aluminum components to be joined without the substantially higher temperatures required for conventional brazing.
Application Guidelines
Before Soldering
Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and remove dirt, oil and loose oxidation. Apply an appropriate amount of Stay-Clean Aluminum Flux to the joint surfaces and assemble the components according to the approved soldering procedure.
During Soldering
Heat the joint evenly and introduce the compatible solder when the proper soldering temperature is reached. Avoid unnecessary overheating and follow the solder manufacturer's recommended procedure.
