None of these products actually state that they absorb toxic fumes from lead solder. Does this truly do that?

I have a fume extraction system which uses charcoal as the absorption media. I cannot speak directly to the products listed, but charcoal is appropriate for removal of toxic fumes and is the primary filtration media in all fume extraction systems. I hope this helps.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great. Leon Carey, leoncarey@gmail.com

I've only done electronics soldering next to this thing. It --slowly-- draws in the smoke/fumes from the flux quite well and the filter seems to absorb them well. You do have to keep your work close to the unit - and I think that's why it does a slow convection - so it doesn't cool off your work. I like it because I don't like to wear little masks because they fog up any glasses that I wear. To be honest, I'm not sure how it would do around welding. I would think that if you're generating lots of sparks then there might be an issue with how close you can get the unit to your work without blasting it with cast-off and melting the filter or pitting the plastic housing. But, if you're talking about brazing - then I think it'll do the job. The housing is plastic, not metal, so it might be a concern around any sparking cast off. However - if you are doing any soldering - then this is a great unit - and you might just get it for that and then try it out next to your welding jobs.

I use this silver solder with a electric soldering iron, works real good as long as your irons heat range will melt it. Ron

No. It's 60/40 (Pb/Sn) resin core solder, used for soldering electric components. Lead free solder doesn't work very well for electrical soldering because it has a higher melting temperature and doesn't flow as well into a joint. I actually use a very thin (.025") resin core solder for my circuit board work. If you do use solder containing lead, just make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. Lead free solder is used for copper plumbing and such, and you have to clean and flux the joint before soldering. Hope this helps.

As far as I know they are 120 volts that is what mine is it works really good though no more fumes from solder flux

I would refer to the manufacturer. I would be afraid that it might give off toxic fumes if it gets too hot.

No, it does lead, lead melts at 400 to 900 degree s aluminium is like 2000 degrees

I don't think so, it does not smell. I always warm it at least 30 minutes to an hour at 500 F and there's no fumes. Unless cadmium and lead are odorless and tasteless!

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.

my research says yes using 400 + degrees. Use adjustable temp control. I have not tried the lead Free solder Geri

excellent question. no one can know this but the maker. but, there is a lead tester kit out there that anyone can purchase and if you rub the stick on any surface, It will register if there is lead in any item or not. weve used that on our woodwork in an apartment in the past. you wouldn't be leaving in your mouth anyway or sucking on it. its just for blowing and if any wood gets soaked it would surely begin swelling after a certain amount of time.

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

All brass has lead in it. The exposure area is minimal though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The mfg would be able to answer that. We used it for flooded lead acid, the results were of no value. 6 out of 10 times it would fail new batteries .

not sure but I don't beleive so because lead is very low melting metal. This is coated in high temperature , hard ceramic. Even better than teflon which is an inert, soft material that scratches or spawls off easily and is said to cause some ailments which may or may not be true. Both are very lubricious (non sticking) That is what I feel is true, not what I can show data on. All compound materials have residuals or very small amounts of many elements.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.
