Stay-Silv® white paste flux is an all-purpose, low-temperature flux for use in silver brazing. For use with most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, not recommended on aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.
Features
Homogeneous brazing flux ideally suited for use with a variety of base metals.
Formulated to provide smooth flux application, even coverage, and excellent protection during braze heating cycles.
Recommended for brazing copper and copper alloys (except aluminum bronze), steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys and other ferrous base metals.
Used with many high silver brazing filler metals.
Suitable for use with many phosphorus-copper-silver alloys, for brazing copper to brass.
White paste flux turns clear (transparent) close to brazing application temperature
Active Temp Range: 1050-1600°F (565-870°C)

Applications
Flux turns clear, (transparent), close to brazing application temperature.
This is a useful indicator you are ready to apply braze wire or rod.
Flux may be water thinned but care should be taken to avoid excess dilution.
