DETAILS
Gal-Viz™ is a special self-fluxing tin-lead-zinc solder used for the maintenance and repair of galvanized areas of sheet angle iron, ferrous metal sheet metals, angle iron and other structures that have been welded or cut with a torch. Gal-Viz™ is also used to coat areas against rusting and corrosion that have not been previously protected. Commonly used to protect structures that are too large to disassemble and dip, such as galvanizing tanks. It has a working temperature of about 600◦ F. Lead bearing solders are not to be used in potable water system applications.
