UV50 and UV500 UV curing conformal coatings were developed for the automotive sector. UV50 is compatible with high-speed airless application systems. Reportedly displays improved thermal shock performance; has improved compatibility with applications produced in no-clean processes or where low surface energy substrates are an issue. UV500 has ability to operate at higher temperatures; provides improved thermal shock performance. High flexibility and low modulus attributes deliver characteristics typically associated with silicone-based products. Reportedly protects against long-term exposure to high moisture environments. Can be removed for rework and repair.

Indium8.9HF1-P Pb-free solder paste is designed to combine stencil printing, using halogen-free oxidation barrier technology, with no-clean residues for probe testing. Reportedly provides high transfer efficiency and consistent print performance, even at high speeds; lessens need for frequent under-stencil wiping. Prints well on apertures with area ratios <0.5 using low print pressures. Oxidation barrier technology eliminates defects such as head-in-pillow and graping. Has soft residue after reflow; residue remains probe-testable after multiple reflows, time between reflow and test, and baking.
