CHEM-WIK is an advanced ultra-thin desoldering wick that responds even faster than any other desoldering wick. It`s lighter gauge, pure copper braidconstruction allows better thermal conductivity, even at low temperatures. With CHEM-WIK, overheating of critical heat sensitive components and circuits is minimized because it requires less heat for a shorter period of time. CHEM-WIK also requires less " contact " pressure for greater operator comfort.
