NanoClear stencil treatment is reportedly now 50% stronger. Reduces frequency of underside cleaning. Better performance from stencils with low aperture area ratios. Uses self-assembled monolayers with phosphonates that are compatible with common types of stencil alloys, including stainless steel, electroform, nickel, and e-polished stencils. Monolayers are fewer than 5nm thick and covalently bound to the surface.
