OVERVIEW

Premium Liquid Flux for Oxy-Fuel Brazing

The Gasflux GF-1 is a one-gallon refill container of the industry-renowned liquid brazing flux, designed specifically for use with Gasfluxer dispensing units. For decades, metal fabricators and maintenance professionals have relied on this specialized chemical formulation to achieve high-strength, leak-proof braze joints without the mess and inconsistency of traditional paste fluxes. When introduced into the fuel gas stream, this liquid flux vaporizes and is delivered directly to the workpiece through the torch flame. This unique delivery system ensures that the metal is cleaned and protected from oxidation at the exact moment heat is applied, creating optimal conditions for filler metal flow.

This product is ideal for a wide range of maintenance and repair operations, particularly when working with mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and copper-based alloys. The "Type B" formulation is the standard general-purpose liquid flux used in most industrial applications. It is engineered to improve the wetting characteristics of bronze and silver brazing alloys, allowing the filler metal to flow smoothly into tight capillaries and across surfaces with minimal effort. This results in stronger joints and a significant reduction in the amount of filler metal required per job.

One of the standout features of using Gasflux liquid is the dramatic reduction in post-weld cleaning. Unlike paste fluxes that leave behind a hard, glass-like crust that must be chipped or ground off, Gasflux leaves a micro-thin, protective residue that often requires no removal at all. If painting or plating follows the brazing process, the residue washes off easily with warm water. This efficiency makes the GF-1 an essential consumable for high-volume production environments and busy repair shops where time is money. By maintaining a consistent supply of flux in the flame, operators can focus entirely on heat control and puddle manipulation, leading to cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing welds.

The 1-gallon plastic jug is designed for easy pouring into the reserve tank of your Gasfluxer unit. It is a volatile liquid and should be handled with care, following all safety protocols for flammable liquids. Whether you are repairing bicycle frames, automotive body panels, or industrial piping, the Gasflux GF-1 ensures your oxy-fuel equipment operates at peak performance.

FAQ

This is a liquid flux designed to be poured into a 'Gasfluxer' dispensing unit. The fuel gas passes through the unit, picks up the flux vapor, and delivers it through the torch flame directly to the workpiece.

No, this liquid is not designed to be brushed on or used for dipping. It requires a Gasfluxer unit to vaporize and mix it with the fuel gas properly.

It is suitable for brazing mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze. It is not intended for aluminum.

For most clean metal applications, yes. However, for dirty or heavily oxidized metals, or when capillary action is required deep into a joint before heat is applied, a small amount of paste flux may still be used in conjunction with the liquid.

Gasflux leaves very minimal residue compared to paste. It is water-soluble and can typically be removed with warm water or a light wire brushing.

Yes, the liquid flux is solvent-based and highly flammable. It must be stored away from heat, sparks, and open flames when not in use.

When stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry area, the shelf life is indefinite. Ensure the cap is tight to prevent solvent evaporation.

Gasflux liquid works with all common fuel gases, including acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas.
