Brazebinder is a viscous 'gel' type hydrocarbon based product, which is used as a carrier for mixing with braze alloy powders and fluxes to make an easily dispensable paste. Brazebinder provides the following advantages over other carriers (primarily water based):

• Brazebinder is very viscous so there is no settling of the metal powder or flux, thus the resulting paste is very homogeneous.
• It is very slippery, hence can be easily dispensed through automatic paste dispensers or syringes to make a bead at the joint edges.
• It is non-reactive with flux or metal powder.
• It is clean burning and virtually leaves no residue.
• It is economical, only a small amount of Brazebinder need to mixed with metal powder or metal powder plus flux combination.

Applications of Brazebinder

• Steel Brazing: The Brazebinder is mixed with Copper powder to make a paste. Then this paste is applied through syringes or automatic paste dispensing machines in a bead form (about 1 mm diameter). This brazing is done in cracked ammonia or Hydrogen atmosphere.
  
  
• Copper Brazing: Brazebinder is mixed with Cu-P powder and braze Cu (mainly radiators) in belt furnace.
  
  
• Brazing Pastes: Brazebinder is mixed with silver brazing powder and flux, and a paste is prepared. The paste is applied and then torch brazed. It is very useful in joining complex assemblies where use of rods or performs are difficult.
  
  
• Dispensable Fluxes: Brazebinder is mixed with our specially formulated powder flux to make a paste. This paste is used in automatic brazing machines.
