What is the value proposition that this paste has to offer? From the logistics point of view, typical solder paste is temperature sensitive and shipped with cold packs. It must then be immediately refrigerated upon arrival. Delays could compromise the quality of the paste. Refrigerated paste must be conditioned before use and proper material management is critical. From the operations point of view, the room temperature storage of GC 10 eliminates start up time and allows for immediate paste utilization on the production line. Of the approximately 60% of production defects, a majority can be traced back to the printing process. A more robust printing paste with long stencil life addresses the defect level issue. The unique flux chemistry allows for better solderability with wider reflow process conditions, resulting in improved solder joint quality.
