94K
FB3A
Handy Flux is an active flouride/borate -type flux which begins to melt and dissolve oxides at 600°F (320°C). Fully molten at 1100°F (600°C), it provides excellent protection of parts up to 1600°F (870°C). Cleanup shoul dbe with hot water.

More effective than a general purpose flux in long-heating cycle applications. Lower fluorine content results in higher melting temperature. More viscous, less active, but has a longer life. Also useful for induction heating applications, where tendency to overheat may exist. Active range: 1200° to 1600°F (650° - 870°C).
1 lb. (454 g.) jars.

FB3D
This high temperature flux contains still less fluorine than type LT. It is often used with brazing alloys melting above 1600°F (870°C) - and provides the adherence and fluxing action a general purpose flux cannot give at these temperatures.

N/A PDF Icon for MSDS Safety Document
90K
FB3D
Particularly useful where refractory oxides are formed on the metals being joined. This added capability results from the addition of a small amount of finely powdered boron to the flux.
1 lb. (454 g.) jars.
Handy Flux Hi-Temp M - Paste or Powder
High temperature furnace, induction or torch brazing, requiring maximum protection.
N/A PDF Icon for MSDS Safety Document
