PCB manufacturng pros are often searching for better solutions by application. In response to this need, RBP developed RBPToolbox.com/electronics, an online tool where customers can browse [...]

As a supplier of HAL fluxes to the circuit board industry, RBP Chemical Technology® researchers were very aware of the drawbacks of conventional, halide-based products. High corrosivity, [...]

More and more board shops are interested in running the tin stripper on a feed and bleed system. This method gives more consistent performance and reduces the downtime for dumping and changing [...]

Imaging fine lines is easy; developing fine spaces is hard. With the standard circuit resolution quickly moving below 5 mil lines and spaces, pressure mounts on the developing process, [...]

RBP Chemical Technology has launched a proprietary web-based tool to provide a higher level of service for customers and to support its sales force. RBP Chemical Technology’s [...]

My outer layer resist stripper process works fine until I run jobs with very fine lines and spaces. The dry film sometimes gets trapped between circuits causing etching problems. How can this [...]

Hey Rob, with all of the different selling prices and different concentrations used from one resist strip supplier to the next, how do I know whether I am getting the lowest operating cost?

The trend to finer lines and spaces continues to challenge processors of innerlayer material. With thinner core laminate and thinner copper foil, mechanical cleaning — the cleaning method [...]

Antifoam is unfortunately a necessary evil for developing and resist stripping spray processes. I say unfortunate because antifoams are typically petroleum- based products that we do not want on [...]

Hey Rob, my tin stripper works great most of the time. However, when I run high aspect ratio boards greater than 8:1, I am seeing tin in the hole. What’s wrong?
