Claiming to remove up to four times more solder than conventional wicks and faster than wicks based on Type-R fluxes, this new solder wick is made from fine copper wire woven together with a no-clean flux added to it to increase the amount of absorption. Residue left behind is said be both halide free and non-conductive.
The new wick comes in two widths of 1.9 mm and 2.5 mm and in four lengths of 5', 10', 25' and 50'. Standard and anti-static bobbins, as well as either bulk or blister packaging are also avaiable.
The 100% copper wick has a very fine braid said to promote strong capillary action to pull in excess solder. The wick is the company's latest addition to its Kestler line of solder products.
