BP898 - No. 5 Soldering Flux Paste - 1 lb Tub

Industrial Grade Soft Soldering Flux

Achieve superior metal joining results with the Flux Paste No 5 (1 lb Tub) from Oakley. This industrial-grade flux is a staple in the toolkit of maintenance and repair professionals. Engineered for efficiency, it combines powerful cleaning agents with active fluxing properties to ensure that solder bonds securely to the base metal. The 1 lb tub ensures you have an ample supply for extensive projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering. It is particularly well-suited for sweating copper pipes, repairing radiators, and fabricating sheet metal components where a strong, durable seal is non-negotiable.

The thixotropic nature of the paste allows for precise application with a brush or gloved finger, ensuring that the flux penetrates deep into the fitting cup without dripping excessively. It works effectively with common soft solders, including tin-lead and lead-free alloys. By preventing oxidation during the heating process, the Oakley Flux Paste No 5 ensures that the solder adheres uniformly, minimizing the risk of voids or cold joints. This reliability is critical in pressurized systems where joint integrity is paramount.

Performance and Safety

Designed for the rigors of the trade, this flux paste remains stable across a range of working temperatures suitable for soft soldering. It helps to float out impurities from the joint area, resulting in a bright, shiny connection. Users should always ensure proper ventilation when heating chemical fluxes and follow standard safety protocols. With its proven formulation, Oakley's No 5 Flux Paste helps welders and tradespeople maintain high productivity and quality standards in their soldering operations.
