{"product_id":"platinum-traditional-solders-1000c-1700c-sheet","title":"Platinum Traditional Solders 1000C to 1700C","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional Platinum Solders have been formulated for generations, originating in response to a platinum shortage during World War II. With platinum scarce, palladium became the primary metal in these solders, as it was more affordable and readily available at the time. As a result, traditional platinum solders contain little to no platinum, relying instead on palladium, gold, silver, and sometimes nickel in their compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJewelers have long relied on these solders for good reason: they flow smoothly, are relatively easy to work with, and provide a reasonable color match to platinum. Over time, however, palladium and gold prices have risen considerably, reducing the cost advantage these formulas once held over modern platinum plumb solders. Despite this, traditional platinum solders retain one meaningful benefit — they are available in flow temperatures below 1300°C, giving jewelers access to lower-heat options not found in plumb formulations. Their high palladium content also makes them particularly well-suited for use with palladium work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach solder is sold in sheet form weighing approximately 1 DWT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in eight flow points ranging from 1000°C–1700°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh palladium content makes these solders compatible and easy to use with palladium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow temperatures below 1300°C available — not offered in platinum plumb solder formulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlows smoothly and provides reasonable color match to platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated with palladium, gold, silver, and in some cases nickel and platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in sheet form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eForm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1 DWT per sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow Point Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000°C–1700°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Metal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalladium (varies by flow point)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow Point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3% Pt, Au \u0026amp; Ag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1100°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11% Pd, Au \u0026amp; Ag (No Pt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1200°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12% Pd, 2% Pt, Au \u0026amp; Ag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1300°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20% Pd, Au \u0026amp; Ag (No Pt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1400°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29% Pd, 4% Pt \u0026amp; Au\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38% Pd, 3% Pt \u0026amp; Au\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1600°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89% Pd, 10% Pt \u0026amp; Ag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80B-1700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1700°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52% Pd, 16% Pt, Au \u0026amp; Ag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"1000 Centigrade","offer_id":43587018686678,"sku":"80B-1000","price":146.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1100 Centigrade","offer_id":47563679432918,"sku":"80B-1100","price":192.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1200 Centigrade","offer_id":47563454939350,"sku":"80B-1200","price":285.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1300 Centigrade","offer_id":47563038654678,"sku":"80B-1300","price":366.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1400 Centigrade","offer_id":47562684891350,"sku":"80B-1400","price":333.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1500 Centigrade","offer_id":47562358751446,"sku":"80B-1500","price":311.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1600 Centigrade","offer_id":47557498339542,"sku":"80B-1600","price":149.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1700 Centigrade","offer_id":47561579659478,"sku":"80B-1700","price":224.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/platinum-traditional-solders-1000c-to-1700c-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719955732","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/platinum-traditional-solders-1000c-1700c-sheet","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
