FLUX 2805

Flux 2805 is the superior, non-corrosive, CAB Flux used with confidence by leading manufacturer of brazed aluminum heat ex-changers around the world.

Flux Schweiß -und Lötstoffe USA, LLC produces Potassiumfluoroaluminate with the highest purity offering significant oxide dissolving performance advantages in comparison with other low purity fluxes.

Flux 2805 is designed to have a melting point of 550°C – 560°C allowing a longer period of time for braze surface preparation prior to the melting temperature of filler metals being reached during the CAB process. This has the effect of improving capillary action and filler metal flow.

Highest quality and product consistency is achieved by following strict manufacturing standards in our unique flux manufacturing technique.

Flux 2805 is produced in high concentration with various grain sizes to satisfy every possible requirement from our diverse customer base.

Flux 2805 is used as the active component in our extensive range of non-corrosive flux solutions and pastes including metallized and flame brazing pastes.
