What is Melting Ointment?

Fluxes are chemical compounds used to facilitate the welding process by cleaning the surfaces to be joined.

Its main function is to allow a proper bond by dissolving and removing the oxide layers present both in the weld and on the metal surfaces.

They protect clean surfaces by preventing re-oxidation before the joint is completed, and are efficiently displaced by the molten weld, leaving no solid residues or gaseous inclusions that compromise the quality of the joint.

Our flux paste is manufactured according to the specifications of the ninth edition of the Metal Handbook (Welding, Brazing and Soldering section). It is a greasy flux with petroleum jelly as its base and chlorides as the activating agent.

Relevant technical properties

Oxide removal
Dissolves layers of oxide on metal surfaces for a clean bond
Anti-reoxidation protection
It prevents the formation of new oxide layers during the process
Efficient displacement
It is displaced by the molten weld without leaving solid residues
Technical formulation
Made according to the specifications of the Metal Handbook, 9th edition

Due to its corrosive nature (chlorides), its application requires subsequent cleaning to ensure the durability and quality of the bond.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Yes. Because it contains chlorides as an activating agent, it is corrosive. Post-application cleaning is required to prevent long-term corrosion at the joints.

It is designed to facilitate the soldering of common metals (copper, brass, tin-plated steel). It is compatible with Sn-Pb alloys and lead-free alloys.

It is recommended to apply a thin, even layer to the surfaces to be bonded. Excess material can create residues that are difficult to clean. Consult engineering for specific application procedures.

No. Chloride-based fluxing paste is more aggressive and effective on oxidized surfaces, but requires subsequent cleaning. Resin fluxes are less corrosive and are more commonly used in electronics where cleaning is not easy.

Do you need specifications for your process?
