69080170 - All-State Jet Flux Liquid Brazing Flux - 1 Gallon

Advanced Liquid Gas Flux for Oxy-Fuel Brazing

The ESAB All-State Jet Flux (SKU: 69080170) represents a sophisticated chemical solution for industrial brazing applications, specifically formulated to be introduced into the fuel gas stream via a dedicated flux dispenser. This 1-gallon container of liquid flux is engineered to vaporize within the fuel gas line, ensuring that the flux is delivered to the workpiece simultaneously with the flame. This mechanism provides a continuous, uniform application of fluxing agent, which is critical for preventing oxidation during the heating cycle and promoting optimal capillary action of the filler metal.

Primarily composed for use with oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane setups, Jet Flux is highly effective on a variety of base metals, including mild steel, low alloy steels, stainless steel, copper, brass, and bronze. By integrating the flux into the flame, the operator achieves a "self-fluxing" atmosphere that shields the base metal from atmospheric contamination more effectively than manual paste application. This results in superior wetting characteristics, allowing the brazing alloy to flow deeply into tight joints and creating high-strength, leak-proof bonds essential for HVAC, automotive, and structural fabrication.

One of the primary technical advantages of the All-State Jet Flux system is the reduction of post-braze cleaning. Traditional paste fluxes often leave behind a hard, glass-like residue that requires mechanical removal or chemical cleaning. In contrast, the residue left by Jet Flux is minimal and easily removed, often requiring only a warm water wash or light wire brushing. This efficiency significantly reduces cycle times in high-volume production environments. Furthermore, the liquid formulation eliminates the risk of flux inclusions that can occur with excessive paste application, thereby enhancing the metallurgical integrity of the joint.

The 1-gallon packaging is designed for industrial users and workshops with high throughput. It serves as a bulk refill for standard gas flux dispensers (often referred to as "Jet Fluxers"). The chemical stability of the product ensures a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Operators should note that this product is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety protocols, including the use of proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE).

In summary, ESAB All-State Jet Flux offers a streamlined, high-performance alternative to conventional fluxing methods. It provides precise control over the brazing process, improves joint quality through enhanced wetting and reduced oxidation, and lowers overall operational costs by minimizing cleanup labor and consumable waste.
