Sun Chemical to Exhibit at Productronica 2023
13 November 2023: Sun Chemical will exhibit at Productronica 2023, Stand B3.545 (14-17 November, 2023 at Messe München, Munich, Germany), the world’s leading trade fair for the development and production of electronics. Sun Chemical will showcase enhancements and additions to its range of soldermasks for direct imaging processes and LED lighting applications.
Direct Image applications
Sun Chemical has recently made additions and improvements to its IMC5000 Range of Imagecure soldermasks for direct image processes. Sun Chemical’s R&D team have formulated an improved blue soldermask that holds its colour strength and opacity when applied over a yellow FR4 laminate – giving a true-blue finish to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) after processing.
Jon Conboy, Sales Manager, Sun Chemical Electronic Materials said “This is a significant improvement over previous options available to PCB fabricators, and something the industry has been requesting. In addition to the improvements made to the IMC5000 blue, we have also enhanced our range of IMC5000 products to include an improved black and a semi-gloss halogen-free green.”
LED lighting applications
Sun Chemical has also recently made enhancements to its IMC6000 range of Imagecure soldermasks for LED lighting applications, formulating an improved white soldermask for LED lighting.
Latest products within the IMC6000 range offer the following benefits:
– Improved white opacity over copper and laminate
– Improved adhesion properties
– Improved photospeed – up to four Stouffer steps faster at a given energy
– Improved colour stability after high temperature reflow
Industry leading reflectance values
IMC6000 range is available in matt and gloss finishes and is suitable for both screen print and spray application methods.
Tony Searle, Managing Director, Screen and Electronic Materials at Sun Chemical said “This addition to our range of LED white solder masks offers us the opportunity to expand our business in this highly competitive market, where end users are looking for colour stability and resistance to heat and UV exposure of soldermasks. As Europe’s largest manufacturer of soldermasks for PCB industry, Sun Chemical is pleased to be able to now offer this solution globally.”
