MG Chemicals Unfluxed Super Wick™ is a high-purity, tightly woven copper desoldering braid designed for maximum flexibility in electronics rework and repair. Unlike flux-coated wicks, this braid contains no embedded flux, allowing technicians to apply their preferred flux type—including water-soluble fluxes for aqueous cleaning processes or specialty fluxes tailored to specific production requirements.
As with all desoldering braid, Unfluxed Super Wick offers distinct advantages over hot air or vacuum-based rework methods. It delivers precise, localized heat transfer, minimizing dwell time and reducing thermal stress on components and PCBs. This ensures safer, more controlled solder removal, whether clearing pads, correcting solder bridges, or performing delicate component replacement.
By giving users full control over flux selection, Unfluxed Super Wick integrates seamlessly into customized manufacturing and repair workflows, making it especially valuable in controlled production environments and applications requiring strict flux management.
