Advantages Of Honeywell Brazing flux

Honeywell Potassium Fluoroaluminate flux (AL-2805) enables a more robust and efficient brazing process when compared to other fluxes, and is characterised by a uniform amorphous and less abrasive morphology, and a high reactivity with aluminum oxide.

A LOWER FLUX MELTING POINT OF 552 (± 3.0°C)

Honeywell Potassium Fluoroaluminate flux (AL-2805) has a unique multi-constituent phase, with amorphous amounts, providing a melting point of 552 ± 3.0°C. This melting point is 25 °C lower than the eutectic melting point of an Al-Si filler metal

Customer Benefits

  • Low melting point
  • Reduced corrosion and abrasion
  • Controlled and narrow particle size distribution
  • Excellent free-flow and dispersion properties

Customer Benefits

  • Wider flux reactivity range
  • Up to 20% extra time for improved cleaning and oxide removal
  • Energy savings drive eco-balance and reduce cost
  • Higher reactivity enables lower flux loading
  • Robust brazing process

A MORE CONTROLLED AND NARROW PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION

Honeywell Aluminum flux features controlled particle sizes to meet and exceed customer product and process requirements :

    • Narrow particle size distribution
    • High batch-to-batch consistency
    • Fast and complete dispersion in solution and slow settling

leading to reduced corrosion and abrasion

Customer Benefits

  • Homogeneous distribution on parts and in paints / pastes
  • Easy and fast dispense due to uniformity of particles
  • No plugging of nozzles and pipes
  • No material loss on filters
  • No yield loss due to assembly defects
  • Uniform surface coverage
  • Robust application process
