Bar Solder
Used in applications where large volumes of solder are needed for tinning, sheet metal work or plumbing. Kester E-bar is designed for electrical,
electronic and mechanical applications requiring bar solder that meet or exceed the requirements of QQ-S-571-F, ASTM B32, and
ANSI/J-STD-006. Kester Ultrapure® is made by a special process which controls the inclusion of oxides and metallic and non-metallic impurities.
Kester Ultrapure® is the industry standard bar solder for use in high tech electronics applications where lower surface tension and hole filling
ability are essential. The purity of Kester Ultrapure® far exceeds the requirements of QQ-S-571-F, ASTM B32, and ANSI/J-STD-006. Kester
also has available Ultra Low Dross, Ultrapure® HAL.

Counter Display Products
Kester has a variety of items in convenient
counter displays. Available are such items as
the popular Flux PensTM, Liquid Flux,
Tinning Blocks, Solder Saver, and various
Pocket-PakTM and Kwik-DrawTM solder
dispensers.
• Kester Flux-PensTM are a unique tool for
rework and touch up soldering. It contains
a spring loaded, chisel point tip which dispenses just the right amount of flux while
limiting operator exposure to soldering
chemicals. The chisel point allows work in
very confined spaces while the spring valve

prevents the flux inside the pen from drying
out. The Flux-Pen is ideally suited for TAB
assembly, No-clean and surface mount
rework applications because it can deliver
flux only to specific areas as simply as
writing.
• Kester Tinning Blocks make it easy to
take proper care of your soldering irons.
Simply rub the HOT soldering iron tip
across the surface of the sal ammoniac
block and it will be simultaneously cleaned
and tinned in one operation. Tips will last
longer and perform better.
• Kester Pocket-PakTM contain 0.5 oz of
60tin/40lead .031” diameter rosin cored
solder. It is ideal for electronic and small
volume soldering applications. The clear
dispensing tube feeds solder easily and
comes with a handy shirt pocket clip.
• The Kester Kwik-DrawTM features
60tin/40lead, “44” Rosin flux core solder,
with an 0.053” diameter. This package
feeds solder freely from one end making it
ideal for keeping in a tool box. The Kester
Kwik-Draw is a bit heftier than the Pocket-Pak
for the more serious repair person.
