Contributing activity / technique for the environment
- Name of activity / technique:
- Lead-containing alloys used in indoor and/or outdoor soldering applications (electrical soldering, plumbing, stained glass and decoratie articles) would have ranged in composition and were eutectic mixtures that melt at temperatures lower than their constituents. Soldered connections would have been made using a variety of usually hand held means, such as soldering iron, gas (e.g. propane) torch or hot air gun. The components to be joined would be heated to a point where the solder would have liquefied, wetted the items to be bonded and then quickly solidified.
- Environmental release category (ERC):
- ERC8c: Widespread use leading to inclusion into/onto article (indoor)
- ERC8f: Widespread use leading to inclusion into/onto article (outdoor)
Contributing activity / technique for consumers
- Name of activity / technique:
- Lead-containing alloys used in soldering applications (electrical soldering, plumbing, stained glass and decoratie articles) would have ranged in composition and were eutectic mixtures that melt at temperatures lower than their constituents, the melting points being such that connections between components could be made without thermal damage to the items being joined. Connections were made using a variety of usually hand held means, such as soldering iron, gas (e.g. propane) torch or hot air gun. The components to be joined would be heated to a point where solder would have liquefied, wetted the items to be bonded and then quickly solidified.
