Welding
Solid tin - lead
Resin-free solid soldering: requires external flux to function, unlike resin soldering (which already incorporates it). It is used in high-volume industrial processes where greater flux control is needed. Applications include:
- Wave soldering
- Sheet metal work and plumbing
- Electrical cable covering
- Automotive processes

Tin - Silver
*Lead-free
This solder is designed for joining joints that must withstand greater stress than those made with tin-lead alloys, or in applications where a lead-free solution is required, such as in the food and beverage industry. It is an alloy nominally composed of 95% tin and 5% silver. It is ideal for installing potable water systems, capillary soldering of copper pipes, as well as for heating and cooling applications. It meets the quality standards established by ASTM B 32-04 and ICONTEC 2700.

Melting Ointment
Fluxes are chemical compounds used to facilitate the soldering process by cleaning the surfaces to be joined. Their main function is to ensure a proper joint by dissolving and removing oxide layers present on both the solder and the metal surfaces. They also protect the cleaned surfaces, preventing re-oxidation before the joint is complete, and are efficiently displaced by the molten solder, leaving no solid residue or gaseous inclusions that could compromise the joint's quality. Our flux paste is manufactured according to the specifications established in the ninth edition of the Metal Handbook (Welding, Brazing and Soldering section). It is a greasy flux, formulated with petroleum jelly as a base and a chloride solution as an activating agent. Due to its corrosive nature, its application requires subsequent cleaning to guarantee the durability and quality of the joint.
