The Gasflux GF-53 Type "W" Liquid Flux represents the industry standard for liquid brazing flux technology. Designed to be used in conjunction with a Gasfluxer unit, this specially compounded liquid is automatically dispensed into the fuel gas stream as a vapor. This innovative delivery system ensures that the flux is present in the flame itself, providing continuous protection to the base metal and filler material throughout the heating cycle. Unlike traditional paste fluxes that can obscure the joint and leave heavy, difficult-to-remove residues, the Type "W" liquid flux produces a micro-thin, glassy protective layer that often requires little to no post-braze cleaning.
Type "W" is the most versatile formulation in the Gasflux lineup, engineered to perform exceptionally well across a broad spectrum of metals. It is highly effective for brazing copper, brass, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and carbide. By controlling the amount of flux introduced into the flame, operators can achieve precise wetting action and superior capillary attraction, ensuring the filler metal penetrates deep into the joint for maximum strength. This product is compatible with all common fuel gases, including acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas, making it a flexible solution for diverse manufacturing environments.
In industrial settings, the use of GF-53 significantly increases productivity. The automatic application eliminates the manual step of brushing paste onto parts, and the clean finish reduces the time and labor associated with post-process finishing. Whether utilized in manual torch operations or high-speed automatic brazing machines, Gasflux Type "W" delivers consistent, high-quality results that meet the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication.
