ZCF ™- Free Flux EUTECTIC - Works at the lowest temperature. STRONG SOLDERED JOINTS - Reduces comebacks. ZINC FREE - No toxic metals added to your waste water. UNIVERSAL - Works with containing and lead-free . SAFER - Not a skin sensitizer. Less irritating to nasal passages. LOW RESIDUE - Rinses easier. No "greening" of or brass.
