See the light... UV light, that is

Everything you wanted to know about UV light curing materials and equipment is available in the DYMAX Comprehensive Guide to UV Light Curing Technology, which we have just put up on our web site.

The 32 page document is an impressive piece of work, with a great deal of detail. DYMAX are the only major manufacturer of both light curing materials and light curing equipment. This focus on UV light curing technology coupled with the synergy produced by designing both the materials and equipment uniquely positions DYMAX as the technical leader in the field.

You can download the Comprehensive Guide from our Technical Resources page.

Any colour you like, as long as it's green

We have helped many pcb repair customers over the years with a Trace Technology Overcoat Pen - this pen writes a clear or green, dielectric material which is used to repair small areas of pcb permanent mask or solder resist. It protects tracks which might otherwise be left bare.

Sometimes the need to cover these up is more than functional - it needs to be cosmetically good too. Consequently, we do get asked, "Those overcoat pens, exactly what colour green are they, and will it match my board?"

Inevitably, with the wide variety of different solder resists in the market, the colour will not match. In this instance, you have a better chance of getting a close, if not exact match, by using our repair epoxy with a colour agent, or even a mix of colour agents. We have five different greens in the range, plus other colours too.

There's an art to it!
