Solar Flux Type B Welding Backing Flux SFTB

Solar Flux Type B protects the back of welds on suitable stainless steels and alloy steels. This powder backing flux is prepared and applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to help limit oxidation on the reverse side of the welded joint.

Use Solar Flux Type B for compatible weld procedures where a backing flux is specified. The coating helps protect the back of the weld while the joint is formed, supporting cleaner root-side results. Selection depends on the material, joint design and applicable welding requirements, so confirm suitability before replacing any specified shielding or purge arrangement.
