The TechSpray 1815-10F No-Clean desoldering braid (wick) does not leave behind ionic flux residues that can collect and form branches called “dendrites”. Other fluxes, if not cleaned properly, can cause dendrites that grow over time and eventually cause short circuits between traces or leads. Latent failures lead to costly returns and a lower perception of the quality of your products.

Desoldering braid or desoldering wick is a pre-fluxed copper braid that is used to remove solder, which allows components to be replaced and excess solder (e.g. bridging) to be removed. The soldering iron is applied to the wick as it sits on the solder joint, and when both are brought up to the solder’s melting point, the flux is activated and, through capillary action from the braided design, the solder is drawn up the wick. Techspray wick has been a mainstay at PCB rework, repair, and prototyping stations for over 30 years.
