  Customers can now use Beta LAYOUT’s PCB-POOL manufacturing service to produce flexible PCB designs. This service combines numerous PCB designs and manufactures them together, eliminating tooling charges and reducing the overall cost for the customer.

Versarien has announced that its graphene development subsidiary, 2-DTech, has made a major advance in graphene platelet production, which the company believes will accelerate potential commercial applications for graphene and graphene products. As a result of 2-DTech‘s investment programme, it has developed its own proprietary graphene production technique founded upon a licenced process from the University of Ulster.

  Automatically monitoring and controlling wash bath concentration in real time, the ZESTRON EYE CM (Concentration Management) is a stand-alone concentration management system. It achieves this by automatically dosing both cleaning agent and DI-water as required.

An innovative silicon nitride coating for ceramic components is now available from Morgan Advanced Materials, across a variety of its oxide and non-oxide ceramic materials.

Engineered Material System is pleased to introduce the DF-3005 Dry Film Negative Photo Resist for use in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and wafer level packaging applications (TSV sealing). This material formulation has been optimized for hot roll lamination and processing on MEMS and IC wafers.

A material specially designed for LED lighting applications is now in stock at Ellsworth Adhesives Europe. EI-1184 from Dow Corning is a two part silicone encapsulant offering clear, reliable electronics protection for any application requiring strong protection from harsh conditions.

Carbon nanotubes and graphene have been competing head-to-head for many of the same applications in recent years. For most applications, the development of carbon nanotubes has been gradually rising but graphene has been making drastic progress. In the form of oxides or nanoplatelets, graphene is in a better position to fulfil market needs, as it is durable, stretchable and lightweight.

Designed for high performance bonding, sealing and coating applications for medical devices, MasterSil 912Med is a room temperature vulcanising silicone system. This system meets both USP biocompatibility and ISO cytotoxicity standards and resists a variety of sterilisation techniques such as gamma radiation, EtO and some types of liquid sterilants.

Designed to deliver consistently high quality and efficient performance, the IS-T-300 all-in-one selective fluxing and soldering system from Manncorp is now available at a price point that will make the technology even more attractive to a wider range of users. Now for only $49,995, the production system comes fully-equipped with advanced features including high-precision drop-jet fluxing, laser-controlled wave height compensation and CAD data im...
