KappRad™ - THE Radiator Repair Solder

KappRad™ has been developed specifically to join and repair Aluminum and Aluminum/Copper radiators and heat exchangers. A lower melting point makes delicate repair work easier. Matching KAPP Golden Flux™ acts as a temperature guide to ensure simple application and successful bonding.

Benefits and Uses

KappRad™ can use any heat source - oxy-acetylene, natural gas or propane torch, heat gun, or soldering iron. It can be used on Aluminum, Stainless Steel, white metal, Pewter, Copper, Brass, and galvanized Steel. In addition, it can be plated with Chrome, Nickel, or Copper
