                  Reliable labelling solutions for printed circuit boards<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  The labelling of printed circuit boards places the highest demands on materials, adhesives and printability. VPF develops and produces specialised self-adhesive materials that are specifically designed for extreme thermal and chemical stresses in electronics manufacturing \u2013 reliable, process-safe and durable.<\/p>\n

                  Challenges in the printed circuit board process<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  In the wave soldering process<\/em>, printed circuit boards briefly come into contact with liquid solder on their underside. This generates temperatures of up to 280 \u00b0C. Depending on the material, board thickness and label position, significantly different temperature profiles can occur on the top side of the board. Adhesive materials must withstand these stresses without deforming, peeling off or losing legibility.<\/p>\n

                  In reflow soldering<\/em>, components are fixed in place using solder paste, which is melted in an oven. Typically, preheating takes place before peak temperatures of up to 220 \u00b0C are reached. In this process, the top side of the circuit board in particular is exposed to high temperatures \u2013 here too, maximum material stability is crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

                  Cleaning after soldering<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  After the soldering process, printed circuit boards are thoroughly cleaned to remove flux residues and prepare the boards for further processing steps. Depending on the manufacturing process, water-based, chemical, high-pressure or ultrasonic cleaning methods are used. VPF’s polyimide self-adhesive materials are designed to remain adhesive-stable and easily readable even under these demanding conditions.<\/p>\n

                  The right material for extreme conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Polyimide films are the first choice for circuit board labels at high temperatures. The material is characterised by exceptional heat and chemical resistance and is typically available in thicknesses of 25 \u00b5m or 50 \u00b5m.<\/p>\n

                  For optimum readability \u2013 especially for barcodes and data matrix codes \u2013 polyimide films are coated with a high-temperature-resistant white coating. This ensures:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • High contrast<\/strong><\/li>\n
                  • Excellent printability<\/strong><\/li>\n
                  • Low reflection during scanning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    The system is rounded off by specially developed high-performance adhesives that adhere reliably even under extreme thermal and chemical influences.<\/p>\n

                    Alternative materials such as polyetherimide or other polymer films can be used in less demanding applications, but quickly reach their limits in modern high-temperature processes.<\/p>\n

                    Printing circuit board labels<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    In practice, thermal transfer printing has become the standard. The key is to combine a suitable adhesive material with a heat-resistant, chemical-resistant ink ribbon to ensure that information remains legible even after soldering and cleaning. The high temperatures involved in the soldering process can also have a positive effect on the durability of the printed image.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9285,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[296,67],"tags":[1059,1060,1066,1061,1065,1063,1067,1062,1064],"class_list":["post-9289","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-products","category-produkte-en","tag-haftmaterial","tag-leiterplattenetiketten","tag-pcb-labels","tag-polyimid","tag-polyimide","tag-polyimide-self-adhesive-material","tag-printed-circuit-board-labels","tag-vpf-polyimid-691008","tag-vpf-polyimide-691008"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9289"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9298,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9289\/revisions\/9298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vpf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
