THERMLfilm HT is a high-temperature polyimide film able to withstand fluctuating temperatures, abrasion and chemicals. Is for high-density barcode and alphanumeric PCB labels. Topcoat provides a smooth printing surface. Is reportedly ideal for data matrix codes; provides consistent ANSI scannability. Static dissipating qualities of the topcoat minimize the risk of print voids. Heat resistance testing has revealed endurance at 500°F/260°C continuously for 5 min. and intermittently at up to 750°F/398°C.

SN100C (551CT) is a Pb-free, fluxed-cored solder wire formulated for soldering tip temperatures up to 380°C with good tip separation for reduced icicles. Is said to deliver an Ag-free stable microstructure. Is designed for high-speed robotic soldering processes; excellent wetting and high spread factor offer increased soldering speeds with hand soldering. Said to provide fast wetting and increased spreadability over SAC 305.

CI-1083-L and CI-1081-H conductive grid inks are for use in thin-film solar modules. Have been optimized for excellent conductivity and low contact resistance on transparent conductive oxides used in solar applications. CI-1083-series conductive grid inks have high solid contents and optimized rheologies to enable screen printing of high aspect ratio fine lines. Are low stress, low shrinkage thermosetting inks that reportedly offer excellent moisture resistance and low polymeric creep. Line resistivity is 8 mΩ/sq/mil (1 mil emulsion; 230 mesh).
