Cored Wire Solder

Kester is the leading supplier of both solid and flux Cored Wire Solder. Kester's cored wire solder manufacturing process, patented in 1899 by Jesse Kester, uses a unique high pressure 90° extrusion process to virtually eliminate solder occlusions and flux voids. Modern wire manufacturing equipment designed and built by Kester has made us unsurpassed in the high volume manufacture of very fine diameter solid and fluxed cored solder products.
