New CLP Classification of Silver: What Does It Mean for SAC305 and Solder Pastes?
The new CLP classification of silver has changed the regulatory assessment of elemental silver in the European Union since May 1, 2026. For the electronics manufacturing industry, this raises an important question: what does the new classification mean for SAC305, solder pastes, solder bars, pellets, and other silver-containing solder alloys? Silver has been one of […]
Recycled Metals in Solder Pastes – Sustainability Without Compromising Quality and Reliability
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in electronics manufacturing. Companies are no longer focusing solely on the energy consumption of their production processes. Raw materials, supply chains, material origins, and the use of secondary resources are also becoming increasingly relevant. This is particularly important for solder pastes. A significant proportion of solder paste consists of metal […]
