NanoClear SMT Stencil Nano-Coating Utilizes Nano-Coating Technology
NanoClear®, leverages Aculon's® proprietary SAMP technology, a robust fluxophobic surface treatment which effectively functionalizes your stencil with a coating only 2-4nm thick. There are no concerns with solder paste contamination as NanoClear® is an incredibly robust covalently bound solution. In addition were any of the NanoClear® material to wear off it would be at such low levels of contamination as to be undetectable in your solder paste even on the most sensitive of analytical instruments. With over 1 million stencils treated with NanoClear® and zero contamination complaints you can be confident there will be no impact on your solder paste performance.
