Volatile organic compounds (VOC) occur when solvents and solvent-containing products are used, and they are harmful to the environment. Nevertheless, manufacturing in many industries still involves pre-treating surfaces with primers, bonding agents or other chemicals that release VOCs. With its Openair-Plasma process, Plasmatreat has announced that it now offers an environmentally friendly alternative.

SnapEDA and DipTrace are announcing a collaboration that integrates SnapEDA’s computer-aided design (CAD) database directly into DipTrace’s latest PCB design software.

Dow showcased its growing family of high-performance materials for the 5G ecosystem, including innovations in thermal management materials; conformal coatings and encapsulants; and EMI shielding, at Productronica China 2021.

An enhanced traceability feature called Part Tracing for printing information to appear directly on cut tape products has been launched by Digi-Key Electronics.

Intertronics has launched Born2Bond Light Lock, a low-odour, low bloom, dual-curing cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA). Designed for a wide range of bonding applications that require fast fixture, coating or surface cure, Light Lock’s dual cure formulation includes both instant (surface) cure and light cure. It is available in high viscosity and gel formulations for bonding, repair, coating or infilling applications.
