tin 7440-31-5
silver 7440-22-4
copper 7440-50-8
antimony 7440-36-0
does this reflect on alloy composition at all? tho only other thing that it says is that its lead free, 1005 water safe, and approved for water and sanitary conditions. so if anyone knows how to translate this nonsense, I would appreciate it, thanks a lot, Travis

once you look at your solder again
maybe you'll find a alphanumeric code like this "Sn95.25Ag3.8Cu0.7Sb0.25"
maybe wiki can help
