Peters places focus on Inkjet Solder Resist at productronica
Santa Ana, CA – October 5, 2023 — Peters will present the benefits of its brand-new Elpejet® IJ 2467 inkjet solder resist at Productronica, the world’s leading tradeshow for electronics manufacturing, which takes place in Munich from November 14 to 17, 2023.
“Our product is characterized by the fact that no cracks form in the coating layer under load in the long run,” says Detlev Schucht, head of Research & Development at Peters. It is this property, which has proven itself in reflow soldering, that Peters is presenting shoulder to shoulder with Würth Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG Circuit Board Technology at productronica. Belonging to the Würth Group, this company is one of the largest PCB manufacturers in Europe. “Together with Würth, we will demonstrate the outstanding properties of our solder resist to the interested audience from the electronics industry,” emphasizes the chemical engineer.
“As a digital printing variant, the inkjet process offers possibilities for a fine-structured application of solder resists, which has many advantages for customers in the PCB industry,Furthermore, the solder resist Elpejetreg; IJ 2467 is solvent-free,” says the coating engineer, pointing out the environmental aspect. The coating is also extremely precise, in such a way that the product is only applied where it is supposed to go. The coverage on the PCB edges can be controlled selectively, which is saving resources and increasing reliability. “We’re talking about an economical process that also saves considerable energy,” reports the 31-year-old, who joined Peters seven years ago after graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, where he is pushing inkjet technology.
“We inform the productronica trade audience that both the ink and the coating process are sustainable and meet the industry’s state-of-the-art demands. Below the line, there is less waste, less energy input, economical use of the high-tech product, no solvents. That brings customers who are employing this technology further ahead as to their CO₂ footprint,” says laboratory manager Detlev Schucht, pointing to both the economic and ecological advantages. Coating the solder resist via inkjet saves several process steps at a time.
