MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, DuPont Teijin Films and Sheldahl Flexible Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Flex Ltd., entered into a strategic relationship to offer Low Temperature, PET-based flexible printed circuit assemblies.
 
This collaboration will enable a complete and holistic solution, starting from world-class Polyester Films, to state-of-the-art FPC fabrication and low-temperature soldering assembly.
 
This technology has the potential for three key inflection points:
  • A transition from traditional Polyimide-based (PI) flex circuits to water clear, transparent, state-of-the-art Polyester-based (PET) flex circuits;
  • Fabrication of sophisticated circuitry via the use of Surface Mount Technology (SMT);
  • Ability to attach heat sensitive components, such as displays, batteries, connectors, etc., using standard in-line SMT assembly techniques.
