Description
- Bakers No.3 flux is a water based flux containing zinc chloride and other salts, which provide an extremely effective fluxing reaction at soldering temperatures
- Bakers No.3 flux is commonly used for soldering copper and brass in many industrial applications
- For most applications, the flux can be applied by brushing, this being the most convenient method of controlling where the flux is placed
- Alternatively, Bakers No.3 flux can be sprayed on, or the work-piece can be fully or partially immersed in the flux prior to soldering
- When heat is introduced the flux will begin to work effectively so that when the solder is applied, the joint can be formed
- Zinc chloride containing fluxes are corrosive and the post soldering flux residues should normally be removed as soon as possible after cooling of the joint assembly
- This can usually be achieved by washing with water, preferably warm
- This product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture
