CHEMTRONICS Technical Data Sheet Chem-Wik Rosin PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Chem-Wik Rosin is especially designed for today's 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 APPLICATIONS Chem-Wik Rosin desoldering braid safely removes solder from: Thru-hole Components Surface Mount Device Pads BGA Pads Micro Circuits Terminals Lugs and Posts Identification Script TDS # CWik TYPICAL PRODUCT DATA AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chem-Wik Rosin Flux Type: Grade WW, Type "R" Clean-up Required: Military Specifications: No MIL-F-14256F Shelf Life - 2 years from manufacturer date Part # 2-5L Size Inches .030" Size Metric .76mm 5-5L .050" 1.27mm 7-5L .075" 1.91mm 10-5L .100" 2.54mm STATIC DISSIPATIVE PACKAGING Static Dissipative packaging is available on all 5 foot bobbins. The static dissipative bobbins qualify as electrostatic discharge protective per DOD Standard 1686 and DOD Handbook 263. Meets the static delay rate provision of MIL-B-81705C. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS For industrial use only. Read MSDS 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.
