Rev. E (8/18) Page 1 of 2 Chem-Wik Rosin Desoldering Braid Product Description Chem-Wik Rosin is especially designed for todays heat sensitive electronic components. The lighter mass, pure copper braid construction allows for better thermal conductivity, even at low temperatures. Chem-Wik Rosin responds as much as 50% faster than conventional desoldering braids. This design minimizes overheating and requires less contact pressure for greater operator control. All sizes are coated with a Type R organic flux system. Requires little or no post solder cleaning No corrosive residues Optimized weave design for faster wicking and heat transfer Halide free Minimal risk of heat damage to components and circuit boards Typical Product Data and Physical Properties Flux Type: Grade WW, Type R Typical Applications Military Specifications: MIL-F-14256F Chem-Wik Rosin desoldering braid safely removes solder from: Clean-up Required: No Thru-hole Components Shelf Life: 2 years from date of manufacture Surface Mount Device Pads RoHS Compliant Yes BGA Pads Micro Circuits Part Size Inches Size Metric Terminals 2-5L .030 .76mm Lugs and Posts 5-5L 0.50 1.27mm Identification Script 7-5L .075 1.91mm 10-5L .100 2.54mm Static Dissipative Packaging Static Dissipative packaging is available on all 5 foot bobbins.

Read SDS carefully prior to use. 1) Choose a Chem-Wik desoldering braid width equal to or slightly larger than the pad or connection. 2) Choose a solder iron tip equal to or slightly smaller than the pad or connection. 3) Set temperature of iron between 600-750F 4) Place wick on solder joint and place tip of hot iron on top of wick 5) As solder becomes molten, the color of the wick will change from copper to silver. 6) Remove wick and iron from solder joint simultaneously once color change has stopped. 7) The component lead is now clean and free from solder. 8) Clip and discard the used portion of the wick. 8125 Cobb Center Drive, Kennesaw, GA 30152 1-770-424-4888 www.chemtronics.com 1-770-424-4888 www.chemtronics.com
