FAQ
Q: Can I use ethanol instead of methanol?
A: Methanol is preferred for optimal performance, but isopropyl alcohol (available at hardware stores) is a suitable alternative.
Q: Is this flux suitable for high-nickel alloys?
A: No, Type B is designed for alloys with nickel content below 25%. Contact us for high-nickel applications.
Q: How should I store the flux?
A: Keep in a cool, dry place sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption. Shelf life is 24 months when properly stored.
Q: Does this replace back purging entirely?
A: Yes, Type B eliminates the need for gas purging in most applications, reducing setup time and costs.
