Desoldering Braid, Desoldering Wick

Premium Desolder Braid
Easy Braid’s wick products are made using ultra-fine, oxide-free copper braided into a weave configuration which maximizes thermal conduction and solder retention. Immediately after braiding, the wick is cleaned in an environmentally friendly process unique to Easy Braid Co.
Every precaution is taken to ensure that the braid remains oxide-free until it is coated through our proprietary flux process. The closed weave design requires less time for desoldering, thus minimizing lifted pads and thermal damage and absorbing up to 30% more solder mass. This enables an operator to get on and off a connection quickly, using less wick to accomplish the task.

One Step No-Clean – Flux residue on the board does not need to be cleaned.
Lead Free – Heats up quickly, it prevents heat stress to components
Sea Braid – Unfluxed wire meant for when an aqueous or specific flux is needed, apply flux for solder removal
