Warton Metals Omega 63/27 rosin-free cored solder wire is made from a flux 'core' contained in high purity cored solder wire. Omega solder contains no rosin (colophony), resin acids, pine oil or other naturally occurring derivatives from pine trees and has been specially designed to reduce the number of world-wide cases of industrial asthma, related to rosin usage within a cored solder wire.
Please note: As of 1st March 2018 the supply of solder containing lead at a concentration above the relevant limit as set out under Article 67 (by virtue of Annex XVII) is restricted to professional use only.
We recommend that schools use lead-free solder for all projects.
Q. Is it OK to use solder containing lead in a school environment?
Thanks
Richard
A. Hi Richard, thank you for your question. This will depend on your local education authority, as we supply both leaded and unleaded solder into education establishments.
