Harris® 1/8" Dia 60/40 Solid Core Wire Solder comes in a 1 lb spool. Designed for hand soldering applications such as stained glass, art, jewelry and similar projects. It is also ideal for producing smooth lead and copper seams. 60/40 solder has a lower melting point, a faster soldering speed, flowing smoothly and yielding stronger solder joints.
Features
Can be used to solder copper and most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys, and steel with some exceptions
Generally used for small connections
Its narrow melting range makes it suitable for dip soldering baths
Popular choice for soldering electrical and electronic connections
Heat sources include soldering guns, irons and air-fuel torches
Not recommended for joints subject to high stress or vibration in the cooling industry due to lack of sufficient elongation properties
Not for use with plumbing and potable water system applications
Conforms to ASTM B-32 specifications, Alloy Grade Sn 60, J-STD-006 Sn60Pb40Sb0.4

Caution
WARNING: PROTECT yourself and others. Read and understand this information.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.
HEAT RAYS (infrared radiation) from flames or hot metal can injure eyes.
Before use, read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and your employer's safety practices.
Keep your head out of fumes.
Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the flame, or heat source, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area.
Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
