Harris Safety-Silv 45FC Silver Brazing Alloy Dubai UAE
Harris Safety-Silv® 45FC Silver Brazing Alloy
Flux-coated, cadmium-free 45% silver brazing alloy for copper, brass, steel and stainless steel. The flux coating eliminates separate flux application — ideal for general purpose brazing in fabrication, HVAC, refrigeration, food service, and industrial pipework across the Middle East and Africa.
Product Overview
What It Is
Harris Safety-Silv 45FC is a flux-coated, cadmium-free silver brazing alloy containing 45% silver, 30% copper, and 25% zinc. The "FC" designation indicates a flux coating applied directly to the brazing rod — eliminating the need to separately apply and manage brazing flux. AWS A5.8 classified as BAg-5, it is one of the most widely specified general-purpose silver brazing alloys in the world.
Who Uses It
Specified by welding engineers, brazing technicians, HVAC engineers, refrigeration engineers, plumbers, and fabricators. Commonly used by contractors and maintenance teams across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa for copper tube joints, food service equipment fabrication, and general industrial brazing.
Where It Is Used
Designed for HVAC copper tube and fitting joints, refrigeration system piping, food and beverage processing equipment, industrial pipework, general steel and stainless fabrication, and anywhere a high-strength, cadmium-free silver brazed joint is required. The flux coating makes it particularly suitable for field work and quick repairs where separate flux handling is impractical.

Key Features & Benefits
Cadmium-Free — Safe to Use
Contains no cadmium — eliminates the serious health risks (carcinogenic fumes) associated with cadmium-bearing silver brazing alloys. Complies with EU REACH and RoHS. Safe for use in enclosed spaces and confined areas across industrial sites in the Middle East and Africa.
Flux-Coated — No Separate Flux Required
The flux coating on the rod eliminates the need to separately purchase, store, and apply brazing flux. Simplifies the brazing process for field technicians and reduces consumable inventory — particularly useful on construction sites, HVAC installations, and maintenance work across the Gulf and Africa.
Excellent Joint Strength & Ductility
45% silver content provides high joint strength with good ductility — joints can withstand vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress without cracking. Critical for refrigeration and HVAC pipework subject to pressure cycling, and for industrial pipework on oil & gas facilities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
145°F Melting Range — Versatile
The 145°F (63°C) melting range between solidus (1,225°F) and liquidus (1,370°F) provides good working time and fillet-forming qualities — suitable for both tight joints and wider clearance connections. Compatible with standard oxy-acetylene and air-acetylene torch brazing setups.
NSF 51 Certified — Food Service Safe
Certified to NSF Standard 51 for food equipment materials — approved for use in food service, beverage, and food processing equipment fabrication. Suitable for stainless steel joints in commercial kitchen equipment, dairy processing, and food and beverage plant pipework.
Good Capillary Flow & Fillet Forming
Excellent capillary flow draws alloy into tight joint clearances efficiently. Good fillet-forming qualities make it suitable for filling connections with wider-than-ideal clearances — a practical advantage in maintenance and repair situations where joint fit-up may not be perfect.
