Product Overview

Kester 979's finely tuned activation system offers the best wetting available in VOC-free liquid flux technology and the shiniest solder joints. Kester 979 also reduces micro solder balling on glossy laminates and between connector pins.  

This flux leaves a minimal amount of residue after soldering. All remaining residues are non-corrosive, non-conductive and do not need to be removed.
