Heraeus Electronics has announced the successful acquisition of the PriElex electronics inks business line from Kayaku Advanced Materials.

Conductive polymers from the Heraeus Clevios line reduce the sheet resistance on flexible and foldable touchscreens by more than 50%. This considerably improves conductivity and transmission for ultra-thin conductive display layers. Clevios HY E has thus become a key material for stably and reliably producing the next generation of foldable displays and smartphones. Heraeus will present this innovation at C-Touch in Shenzhen.

Heraeus Electronics showed its range of no-clean soldering pastes with a low melting point at productronica this week. The new F498 product series is said to allow significant cost savings in the soldering process. The soldering pastes are characterized by a low void rate and outstanding wetting properties on a wide range of different surfaces. This reduces the formation of solder balls (mid-chip balling).

Labels, forms, cards and lottery and raffle tickets are personalised by ink jet or laser printers. These inks must be completely dried or cured before the printed sheets are passed on for subsequent operations such as stacking, cutting, folding or gluing. Depending on the type of ink used, UV or IR emitters are used for drying and curing and this inevitably takes place with some energy consumption. Today, it is well worth the effort to examine th...

“Clean water for a healthy world” – the theme of the World Water Day, a UN campaign, which takes place annually on 22 March, is dedicated this year to the quality of water.
