n-Propyl Bromide (nPB), Trichloroethylene (TCE), Perchloroethylene (Perc), and Methylene Chloride are four examples of harmful chemicals that are commonly used in aerosol and bulk cleaners in industrial applications. The lack of toxicity knowledge and control can lead to employee ill health, downtime, and potential liability, no matter what the legal standing of a particular chemical. next...

No-clean” fluxes can lead to electrochemical migration and dendritic growth, which are one of the most common causes of failures in PCBAs. This article aims to showcase the importance of cleaning even “no-clean” fluxes in printed circuit board assemblies. next...

Throughout the years many regulations have failed miserably, and in some cases, the use of hazardous chemicals has been replaced with regrettable substitutions that pose equal or even greater threats. In this article, we will explore the impact of governmental regulations on hazardous chemicals usage in the United States, discuss regrettable substitutions and their consequences, and provide insights into the future of U.S. administrative controls on hazardous chemicals. next...

Using a temporary solder mask for anodizing and plating processes can be a useful technique to protect specific areas of a metal surface from being coated or plated. The solder mask acts as a barrier, preventing the anodizing or plating solutions from reaching the masked areas. next...
