Kapp Cadmium-Zinc Multipurpose Solders

Cadmium-Zinc solders are medium temperature alloys that provide strong, corrosion- resistant joints on most metals. These solders are often used in applications requiring higher temperatures and superior strength joints. Cd/Zn solders work especially well on aluminum to aluminum and aluminum to copper joints, with excellent corrosion resistance and superior strength in high vibration and high stress applications in electronics, lighting and electrical products.
