Your challenge<\/h4>\n
The propensity of pure matt tin layers to whisker has become a major concern in terms of implementing this technology as a lead-free solderable finish for IC assembly.<\/p>\n

Our solution<\/h4>\n
Protectostan\u00ae<\/sup> LF2 reduces the detrimental oxidizing effects of exposed copper to adjacent tin surfaces, effectively mitigating the formation of tin whiskers during heat \/ humidity storage.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=“1″ custom_padding_last_edited=“on|desktop“ admin_label=“section“ module_class=“background-1″ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_color=“#d8d8d8″ custom_padding_tablet=““ custom_padding_phone=““ da_disable_devices=“off|off|off“ global_colors_info=“{}“ da_is_popup=“off“ da_exit_intent=“off“ da_has_close=“on“ da_alt_close=“off“ da_dark_close=“off“ da_not_modal=“on“ da_is_singular=“off“ da_with_loader=“off“ da_has_shadow=“on“][et_pb_row admin_label=“row“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_size=“initial“ background_position=“top_left“ background_repeat=“repeat“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.16″ custom_padding=“|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“ custom_padding__hover=“|||“][et_pb_text admin_label=“Our extensive corrosion and whisker investigations“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_size=“initial“ background_position=“top_left“ background_repeat=“repeat“ module_alignment=“center“ use_border_color=“off“ border_color=“#ffffff“ border_style=“solid“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

We carried out extensive studies on the influential parameters for whisker formation.<\/p>\n
Our studies illustrate the influence of the neutralizing post-treatment (post dip A) on corrosion through a reduction in the formation and length of corrosion whiskers \u2013 a result which encouraged us to develop Protectostan\u00ae<\/sup> LF.

\nWe carried out an extensive and fundamental study on the influential parameters for whisker formation during heat \/ humidity storage. It demonstrates and quantifies the unfavorable power of ionic contaminants such as chloride and sulfate on the tin surface to the accelerated growth of corrosion whiskers.<\/p>\n
It also shows the influence of the neutralizing post-treatment, a fact which encouraged the development of the Protectostan\u00ae<\/sup> LF.
