Activ8
Acid Cored Solder Wire
Activ8 is an
acid cored solder wire for metal fabrications. Activ8
will solder brass, bronze, cadmium plating, copper, galvanised
wire, iron, lead, mild steel, nickel and nickel plating, resistance
wires (most types although flux residues should be removed),
silver, spring steel, most stainless steels (using 96S), tinplate
and zinc and zinc platting.
Activ 8
can be used for a variety of uses but should not be used on
electronic assemblies.
Residues of Activ
8 would, under dry conditions, be non corrosive. But as the
work is usually exposed to humidity the residue after soldering
would, over a period of time, absorb moisture, becoming mildly
corrosive. The residue of Activ 8 is simply removed with water
(preferably warm), but where flame heating is employed the
flux will be extensively volatilised by the soldering operation.
In addition, it will not contaminate plating baths.
This flux residue,
if not removed, is considerably less corrosive than most separate
fluid or paste fluxes. If Activ 8 is being used in place of
stick solder and a fluid flux and the flux residue was not
previously removed, there should be no need to do so when
using Activ 8 cored solder wire.
