OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Liquid Flux for High-Volume Brazing

The Gasflux GF-5 is a 5-gallon steel pail of the industry-standard "Type B" liquid gas flux, manufactured by The Gasflux Company. Designed specifically for use with Gasfluxers (flux dispensers), this fluid is formulated to be introduced directly into the fuel gas stream. This method ensures that the flux is delivered to the joint simultaneously with the flame, providing continuous protection against oxidation throughout the heating cycle. The 5-gallon volume is ideal for industrial manufacturing environments where continuous operation and minimal downtime for refilling are critical.

Unlike traditional paste or powder fluxes that can obscure the workpiece and leave hard, glass-like residues, Gasflux liquid flux produces a thin, protective film that promotes excellent capillary action. It is compatible with all standard fuel gases, including acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas. The GF-5 pail serves as a bulk refill for Model 69, Model 70, and other standard flux dispensers, ensuring your production line maintains peak efficiency with consistent braze quality.

Technical Benefits

  • Process Efficiency: Eliminates the separate step of applying flux, streamlining the brazing workflow.
  • Residue Control: Leaves a micro-thin, water-soluble residue that is easily removed, often eliminating the need for post-braze pickling or mechanical grinding.
  • Versatility: Suitable for brazing mild steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and bronze.
  • Cost Effectiveness: The bulk 5-gallon packaging significantly reduces the cost per liter compared to smaller containers.

FAQ

This liquid is designed to be poured into the reservoir of a Gasfluxer or similar flux dispensing unit. The fuel gas then bubbles through the liquid, picking up the flux vapor before going to the torch.

It is excellent for brazing mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and various nickel alloys. It is not intended for aluminum or magnesium.

No, this is a liquid flux specifically formulated for vapor introduction via the fuel gas stream. It is not designed to be brushed on like a paste.

Yes, Gasflux works with all common fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, Natural Gas, and MAPP.

No, that is one of its main advantages. The residue is minimal and usually washes off with water, unlike the hard glass-like slag left by borax pastes.

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

Yes, the liquid contains volatile solvents and is flammable. It must be handled with care and stored away from open flames or sparks when not in use.

If used correctly, it actually helps keep tips clean. However, if the fluxer is overfilled or the gas flow is too high, liquid carryover can occur. Always follow the dispenser's instructions.
