Silweld 2 brazing rods, formulated with a modest proportion of silver, are specifically engineered for general-purpose brazing of copper to copper. These rods are also adept at capillary gap soldering, allowing for effective joining without the necessity of flux when used with a Mapp torch. With their competitive pricing, Silweld 2 serves as an economical solution for a variety of copper-to-copper applications.

Silweld 2 rods contain a lower silver percentage than premium brazing rods, significantly reducing costs while still achieving satisfactory performance in many applications.

These brazing rods are highly favoured in plumbing and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. Their reliability and robustness make them ideal for joining copper components in both residential and commercial settings.

Silweld 2 is particularly effective in scenarios where tight fit-up is not a requirement. The rods can accommodate thermal expansion and vibrations, which are critical in dynamic environments, ensuring long-lasting, sturdy joints.

The unique phosphorus content in Silweld 2 allows for direct brazing of copper joints without the use of additional flux, simplifying the brazing process and reducing preparation time.

Silweld 2 rods are optimized for use with Mapp torches. They exhibit excellent performance without causing disruptions in gas flow. Their design minimises the risk of issues such as overheating or oxidation, which can compromise the quality of the brazed joint.
