Interesting replies, Thankyou
I believe Mr NZ is spot on the melting point is 217 degrees which seems quite common for lead free? Whilst others are generally around 188 degrees?
There is also another catch to this particular product too!

'Ecosol 105' is unlike any flux I have known? The complete product also has no hazard classification whatsoever? The fumes have a weird pine tree hinted scent? (No logical reference to Christmas)
I done test soldering on scrap PCB, with a clean copper surface and some extra 'Dwell' time it seems ok!
As I mainly do repairs on used equipment, I don't think it will work well!
I also found tinning PVC sheathed cable to be a problem too! The insulation would melt, recede and solder blobbing occurs! I wasn't getting that solder absorbing into the strands like my old stuff!
Unfortunately my original spool has no label to identify but I know it is lead based cos when I run it between finger and thumb I get the lead streak if you know what I mean??
