    Bar Solder for High-Temperature Applications

    This solder is commonly used in solder melting pots. It keeps its strength in applications where vibration and frequent and extreme temperature changes occur, such as in water lines and refrigeration equipment. It does not have a flux core, so you can choose the flux that works best for your application.
    Lead-Free, Flux Required

    High-Density Low-Melting-Point Solder

    This bismuth-tin solder has similar performance properties to lead solder, but is also safe for use in food-processing equipment and copper water pipes. It has a lower melting point than most solders, so it’s good for sensitive assemblies, such as semiconductors and electronic components, as well as for step soldering with traditional solders. However, it’s less thermally conductive than other metals and more brittle than lead. Flux isn’t required, but for easier cleanup use it with no-clean soldering flux. Do not use this solder on drinking water pipes.
    Lead-Free, No Flux Required

    Lead-free solder is safer to use than leaded solder and helps meet industry regulations.
    1% Silver—Solder with 1% silver forms stronger bonds than solder without silver. It’s also more malleable and ductile. However, it has a higher melting point, so it takes longer to solder.
