PLATINUM SOLDERS

When joining platinum, there is no fully adequate substitute for welding the objects using a small chip of the same alloy that you are working with.  This method guarentees perfect color match.  However, manufacturing assembly considerations often make this process impractical.  Below is a listing of our most popular platinum solders.  We strongly recommend using the highest temperature platinum solder that your process will allow, as the higher temperature solders have a much better color match with most platinum alloys than do the lower temperature alloys.  The lower-temperature alloys are suitable for joints that will be hidden within the finished piece, or for items that will be subsequently plated.

We currently offer platinum alloys in 1 pennyweight pieces only.  The Extra Easy platinum solder is also available in paste and powder forms..
