Solar Flux® is a complex chemical compound in the form of a very fine powder – finer even than a lady's face powder. Solar Flux®, is mixed with alcohol (methanol/methyl alcohol preferred) and brushed on the back of the weld joint. It is formulated to shield the back of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides, and to clean the surface of the metal. It will aid in the flow of filler metal over base metal and form a protective barrier to prevent re-oxidation and heat scale
