Irvine, CA -- The electronics group of Henkel and the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores Monterrey (Monterrey Technology Institute) will partner to conduct research on lead-free solders, provide local customer support and offer educational opportunities.

Henkel customers will have access to the latest materials research to help them prepare for the demands imposed by the changes in technology. Henkel and Tec de Monterrey technical teams will study and characterize the compatibility behavior of tin-lead and lead-free solder pastes with several component and PCB surface finishes. The results will be made available to Henkel customers.  

The relationship enables Henkel to provide its Mexican customer base with local failure analysis, evaluation capabilities and the support of an application engineer who will reside on-site at Monterrey Tech.

Monterrey Tech will give the technical team from Henkel full access to the University’s advanced SMT assembly line, its failure and analsyis laboratories and support from the institution’s educators and graduate students.  

Henkel will support the University with hands-on training, including lead-free technical workshops.
