Rothenberger - Brazing alloy ROLOT S 5 ISO 17672 2x2x500mm 1kg - 40502

Features of Rothenberger ROLOT S 5 Brazing Alloy

The Rothenberger ROLOT S 5 brazing alloy is a professional solution conforming to ISO 17672 standards, designed to ensure high-quality metal joints. Each package contains rods measuring 2x2x500 mm, with a total weight of 1 kg, identified by product code 40502. This alloy was developed specifically for applications requiring high mechanical strength and excellent fluidity during the brazing process.

Composition and Technical Properties

ROLOT S 5 has a balanced chemical composition that gives it excellent wetting properties on base metals. The alloy is characterized by an optimal melting range, allowing for precise work even on complex joints. Its formulation ensures superior capillarity, ensuring that the material flows effectively into the narrowest spaces between the metals to be joined, thus creating uniform and strong joints.

Main Applications

This brazing alloy is used in numerous professional sectors and applications:

• Plumbing and heating systems for joining copper and copper alloy pipes
• Refrigeration and air conditioning systems
• Heating and gas distribution systems
• Work on electrical and electronic components that require reliable joints
• Automotive industry for repairs on metal components
• Goldsmithing and jewelry production
• Artisan work on non-ferrous metals

Operational Advantages

Using Rothenberger's ROLOT S 5 alloy offers numerous practical benefits during brazing operations:

• Excellent fluidity ensuring optimal penetration into joints
• Superior mechanical strength of completed joints
• Reduced oxide formation during the heating process
• Compatibility with common fluxes available on the market
• Quality surface finish requiring minimal post-brazing cleaning operations
• Uniform consistency ensuring repeatable results

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with ROLOT S 5 alloy, it is advisable to follow some simple guidelines. First, adequately prepare the surfaces to be brazed, ensuring they are clean and free of oxides or contaminants. Apply a compatible flux to the areas to be joined. Uniformly heat the joint area until the ideal working temperature is reached, then apply the ROLOT S 5 alloy which will naturally flow by capillarity into the joint. Maintain heat for the time necessary to ensure complete penetration of the alloy, then allow to cool naturally to avoid internal stresses.

Storage and Safety

To maintain the properties of ROLOT S 5 alloy, it is recommended to store the product in a dry environment at room temperature, avoiding exposure to humidity and corrosive agents. During use, it is advisable to work in adequately ventilated environments and adopt the normal precautions for brazing operations, including the use of personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and protective eyewear.
