DETAILS
Stay Brite® 8 is a lead-free solder engineered to provide a strong, ductile connection on copper, brass, steel, and stainless steel. The silver color is also a good color match to stainless steel. Stay Brite® 8 differs from Stay Brite® as its higher silver content provides a melting range vs. Stay Brite's single temperature melting point. The melting range makes it suitable for soldering connections with a wider clearance. Stay Brite® 8’s low temperature characteristic promotes capillary flow and less base metal distortion and oxidation. Stay Brite® 8 is often selected for residential HVAC tube connections as an alternative to brazing. Conforms to NSF Standard 51 for food service equipment. Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive.
