95/5 Tin-Antimony Solid-Wire Solder is a low temperature lead-free solder with a narrow melting range. It is primarily used for copper plumbing tube but can be used for other general soldering applications. The rapid melting characteristics require close fitting connections as it is difficult to "bridge" or fill wide clearances. Meets ASTM B32 Alloy Sb-5 standard. NSF 372 certified and meets the requirements of the US Safe Drinking Water Act. Use water soluble plumbing flux (ASTM B813) for copper and brass plumbing applications. For steel or other ferrous metals use liquid solder flux.

Caution
WARNING: PROTECT yourself and others. Read and understand this information.
FUMES AND GASES from solder, flux, or base metal can be hazardous to your health.
FLUX CHEMICALS can burn skin, eyes, and damage internal tissue if ingested.
HEAT RAYS (infrared radiation) from flame or hot metal can injure eyes.
Before use, read and understand the manufacturer's instructions, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), 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 from your breathing zone and the general area.
Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
