Extremely versatile, Stay-Brite
®
silver-
bearing solders are widely used through-
out the industry as a better-than-brazing
method in many situations.
The important advantage of Stay-Brite
®
solders is the greater strength of the
overall component. After joining, its lower
working temperature eliminates the
weakening of the base metals caused
by annealment from high brazing heat.
The result is a stronger, more economical
joint.
Stay-Brite
®
silver bearing solders have
the same excellent afnity as Safety-
Silv
®
alloys for bonding with most of the
ferrous and nonferrous alloys (including
stainless steel, nickel, copper, brass,
etc.) It provides a considerably higher
than necessary elongation for sound
dissimilar metal joints and vibration
applications. Stay-Brite
®
alloys range in
temperature from 430°F to 535°F.
Stay-Brite
®
solder eliminates oxide scale
formed from brazing heat. No nitrogen
purge is required for HVAC/R tubes. They
are cadmium free and nontoxic.
Stay-Brite
®
is a eutectic alloy with a
single melting point of 430°F (221°C).
Stay-Brite
®
8 has a solidus of 430°F
(221°C) and a liquidus of 535°F (279°C).
This melting range provides the ability to
ll wider clearance parts.
Stay-Brite
®
the industry’s
most popular solder.

JOINT vs.
BRAZING JOINT
Stay-Brite
®
offers these important advantages over silver brazing:
• Lower material costs up to 66%
• Lowers temperature up to 60%
• Speeds production up to 400%
• Faster post cleaning with little metal discoloration
• Elimination of base metal distortion
• Elimination of base metal annealment
• Elimination of oxide scale formed by heat
• Cadmium-free and nontoxic
• No internal oxide scale, so nitrogen purge is unnecessary
STAY-BRITE
®
Certied to ANSI/NSF 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 for drinking water systems.
Conforms to lead-free content requirements of the U.S. Safe Drinking
Water Act.

Stay-Brite
®
silver
bearing solders
were introduced to
the air conditioning
industry more than
40 years ago.
Today, Stay-Brite
®
is the most used of
all solders.
