A one-off solder supplier
Solder products from DKL Metals can now be purchased in small quantities via
the Surclean web shop. This will enable smaller manufacturing facilities to
access DKL's lead and lead-free solder paste, wire, bar, flux and rework
products in one-off quantities.
Customers will benefit from a simple ordering process and secure credit card
system, with the ability to check stock in real-time. The web shop also provides
