OVERVIEW

Technical Overview of Weldcote White Paste Flux

The Weldcote White Paste Flux (SKU: TTU-908) is a premium chemical agent engineered for general-purpose silver brazing applications in industrial and manufacturing environments. This flux is formulated to meet the stringent requirements of metal joining processes, providing a protective atmosphere that prevents oxidation during the heating cycle. It is active within a temperature range extending up to 870°C (1,600°F), making it suitable for use with a wide variety of silver brazing filler metals. The chemical composition is designed to effectively dissolve surface oxides on base metals, thereby reducing surface tension and promoting rapid, uniform wetting and capillary action of the molten alloy.

Compatibility is a key feature of this product; it is effective on copper, copper-based alloys (such as brass and bronze), mild steel, stainless steel, nickel, and carbides. It is typically classified under industry standards similar to AWS A5.31 Class FB3-A, representing a general-purpose flux containing fluorides and borates. The paste exhibits thixotropic rheology, ensuring it remains in place when applied to vertical or overhead joints before heating. Unlike many standard fluxes that may dry out or separate over time, Weldcote White Paste Flux is stabilized to prevent hardening and crystallization, guaranteeing a shelf life of approximately two years under normal storage conditions.

In production settings, the flux's consistency allows for application via brushing, dipping, or automated spraying systems. Post-process cleaning is streamlined due to the water-soluble nature of the flux residue. Removal of residue is essential to prevent long-term corrosion, and this formulation allows for effective cleaning using hot water or mechanical agitation. This product is an essential consumable for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), HVAC/R manufacturing, and precision metal fabrication sectors requiring hermetic and high-strength joints.

FAQ

This flux is designed for use on copper, brass, bronze, steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and carbides. It is not intended for use on aluminum or magnesium.

The flux remains active and protective up to approximately 1,600°F (870°C). If heated beyond this point, the flux may burn out and lose its effectiveness.

Because the residue is water-soluble, you can clean the finished joint by scrubbing it with hot water and a wire brush or rag once the part has cooled down.

Weldcote White Paste Flux is formulated to resist crystallization and hardening, offering a shelf life of up to two years if the container is kept sealed when not in use.

No, this is a brazing flux designed for high-temperature silver brazing alloys. For soft soldering (lead/tin), you would need a different type of flux active at lower temperatures.

Yes, the creamy consistency allows it to be dispensed via automatic spraying or dipping systems often used in production brazing lines.

As you heat the base metal, the white paste will eventually turn into a clear, liquid fluid. This indicates the flux is active, the temperature is rising, and the joint is nearly ready for the filler metal.
