Rothenberger LP5 flux (code 40500) is a professional product compliant with EN 1045 - FH 10, specifically formulated to optimize brazing and soldering processes. This 160g flux paste has been developed to ensure perfect metal joints, eliminating oxides and impurities from the surfaces to be joined.

Technical Specifications

The LP5 flux comes in paste format with a net weight of 160g, packaged in a practical jar that preserves its properties over time. Its chemical formulation rigorously adheres to European standards EN 1045 in the FH 10 category, ensuring optimal performance in professional applications. The product is characterized by an ideal operating temperature range of 550°C to 800°C, making it versatile for various types of brazing.

Main Applications

This flux is used in numerous professional sectors and applications:

• Brazing of copper, brass, and bronze joints
• Installation and maintenance of plumbing systems
• Creation of connections in refrigeration systems
• Work on heating and air conditioning systems
• Repairs in electrical and electronics
• Precision work in the goldsmith sector
• Interventions on metal components in the automotive sector

Operational Advantages

The Rothenberger LP5 flux offers numerous benefits that make it an indispensable ally for professionals:

• Effective removal of surface oxides that would prevent proper adhesion
• Improved fluidity of the filler metal during brazing
• Reduced surface tension for uniform distribution of the brazing alloy
• Protection of metal surfaces from oxidation during heating
• Facilitation of filler metal capillarity in joints
• Compatibility with various brazing alloys, including silver-based ones
• Professional results even in difficult working conditions

Instructions for Use

To achieve optimal results with LP5 flux, it is recommended to follow these steps: thoroughly clean the surfaces to be brazed, removing grease, oil, or dirt residues; apply a thin and uniform layer of flux on the areas to be joined; gradually heat the joint area to the working temperature; introduce the brazing alloy which, upon melting, will distribute evenly thanks to the action of the flux; at the end of the process, remove any flux residues with a damp cloth or by washing, thus preventing potential corrosive phenomena over time.

Safety and Storage

Like all professional chemical products, LP5 flux requires certain precautions for use. It is recommended to use it in adequately ventilated environments, avoiding inhalation of fumes produced during heating. It is advisable to wear protective gloves during handling and to store the product in its original, tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and out of reach of children. The shelf life of the product, if properly stored, is several years from the production date.
