TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The most widely used rod on the market for WELDING ZINC BASE metals - white - die cast - pot metal. Alloyed from pure virgin metals. Welds made with Durafix are clean and free from slag. Produces a sound joint that is stronger than the parent metal. BRAZING ALUMINIUM without the use of flux, sound and free from porosity. SOLDERS GALVANIZED, also used as a RUB-ON solder. Use a slightly carburizing flame (excess of acetylene), with small tip for most work. MELTING POINT 389°C (732°F).

General Notes
This rod will work with propane, mapp, butane, oxyacetylene or any fuel source as long as the material is brought up to 389°C. The rod will not work if heated directly. You must heat the material that you are working on to 389°C and then apply the rod. The material must be cleaned with a stainless steel brush (included) because of the purity of stainless steel. The rod will not adhere to the material being brazed if it is cleaned with steel or other type of brushes.
