Technical Data in ENGLISH units

 
  • Durostone® materials have excellent mechanical properties at elevated
    temperatures.
  • All materials are dimensionally stable and retain their flatness through repeated
    cycling in the PCB assembly process.
  • The low thermal conductivity of Durostone® ensures optimal thermal distribution
    across the  PCB.
  • The resin system used in Durostone provides resistance to the chemicals used in
    fluxes and also prevents solder pick-up.
  • PCB assembly tooling can be manufactured to fine tolerances with Durostone® materials.
  • The materials are easier to handle in the production process than most others used for
    PCB tooling due to two factors,
    1. The density, which helps to reduce the weight of the finished tooling.
    2. The glass and resin content, which ensures that the line operators and the machinists are not
        subjected to skin irritation, alleviating any health & safety concerns.
NOTE:
 
The three grades listed above are the standard grades suitable for use in the majority of applications in the PCB assembly process. In certain cases where high volume assembly is carried out with a solder pallet return cycle time of less than 30 minutes and fluxes containing either a) halides or b) >97% alcohol, then degradation of the resin may occur.
In this situation the grade developed to withstand resin breakdown should be used. Please refer to our data sheet on Durostone® CCR-766.
