You've gone lead-free. So, what's next?

After years spent in preparation, lead-free is finally here. So, having ensured that your entire manufacturing line is compliant with the demands of the RoHS directive, can you afford to sit back and relax?

Unfortunately not. Compliance is one thing, but continual process optimisation is entirely another. You may have reviewed your entire product line for RoHS compliance but how sure are you that your bill of materials is lead-free capable? The fact is, if your materials are not up to the elevated temperature cycles of lead-free, you are paving the way for low yields and poor reliability.

Henkel's global leadership in lead-free formulas is evidenced by the thousands of progressive manufacturers currently using our lead-free expertise to their advantage. Our wide range of RoHS-compliant Material Sets and transitional products will ensure you never have to compromise on the factors most important to you: turnaround, yield, cost and quality.

We have launched a pioneering range of material set solutions to deliver proven package performance in the lead-free environment. For example, our CSP underfills work with our lead-free paste. Our liquid flux works with our chipbonder. And, our chipbonder is RoHS compliant and lead-free capable.
