S3X58-M650-7 solder paste is ICT-compatible and halogen-free.  Reportedly has lower contact resistance and leaves less residue on probes compared to conventional products. Prevents buildup of flux residue on solder joint. Reduces amount of gas generated; minimizes amount of voids, especially for smaller pads. Melting point is 217° to 219°C.

S3X58-M555 halogen-free solder paste maintains activation by suppressing activator reaction at room temperature. Shows melt-ability during reflow process. Multiple activators have been encapsulated and blended. Withholding activation at room temperature, viscosity can be stabilized. Is said to show no deterioration on surface insulation resistance after 200 hr. on moisture cycle test. Wets and spreads without dewetting and inhibits head-in-pillow on BGAs. Is compatible with automotive applications.

NanoProof PCB water and oil protection products provide surface modification technology; treat printed circuit board to be repellent to water and/or oil, while maintaining functionality. Surface treatments are no-mask, solution-based hydro/oleophobic coatings done on an inline basis; deliver benefits of conformal coatings and avoid bottlenecking batch process. Offer range of PCB waterproofing solutions from protecting against accidental water damage (NanoProof 1.0) to IPX7, immersion in water at 1m depth for 30 min. (NanoProof 3.0,3.5,4.0), to barrier properties that can withstand 100 hr. immersion in sweat solutions, and test methods developed for non-hermetic components (NanoProof 5.0) . Electrical connections are not impacted; integrity of signal strength, antenna and acoustic performance remains intact. Use a mix of Proprietary Transition Metal Complexate technology and fluorinated acrylic polymers to be compatible with common material types used in SMT parts.  Are sprayable or dip-based coatings; do not require a cure and reportedly have no impact on conductivity testing. Are available with UV tracer dye.
