Five Star Technologies Introduces New Category of Specialty Dispersion Products at IMAPS
Setting A New Standard For Uniformity and Stability, While Boosting
Performance
Cleveland, Ohio. October 18, 2006. Five Star Technologies announced
today that it has introduced a family of new dispersion products
to manufacturers of electronic packages and related materials attending
the 39th Annual Symposium of the International Microelectronics And
Packaging Society. The new products include dispersions for precious
metal processing, chip packaging materials, specialty inks and pastes
and ceramic components. The company expects each to find wide, immediate
use in the fabrication of microelectronics for makers of cellular
phones, PC boards, and automotive and medical electronics. At the
same time, it expects its dispersion products to become an enabling
technology for next generation RFID, LCD and plasma displays, solar
panel buildups and smart sensors.
"Based on early collaboration and testing with industry-leading
customers, we believe that Five Star's dispersions will eliminate
frustrations currently felt by many in the industry at their inability
to consistently produce key packaging features at ever smaller dimensions," says
Dana Hankey, Business Director of Electronic Materials for Five Star. "Five
Star's dispersions are uniquely uniform and stable for particles
at both the micron and nanometer scale."
Customer tests, says Hankey, have demonstrated numerous advantages
for Five Star dispersions. These include:
- Dispersion uniformity that eliminates agglomerates and
precisely controls maximum allowable particle sizes
- Rheological
stability in numerous applications using multiple fillers and organic
solvents
- Elimination of multiple processing steps
- No degradation
of material purity and, in certain instances, enhancement
- Maintenance
of key material features such as morphology and coating integrity
- Ability
to match coefficients of thermal expansion with those of surrounding
materials.
Taken together, says Hankey, these benefits mean that Five Star's
patented technology for creating uniform, stable dispersions fills
a missing link in the electronic materials supply chain. "We
believe that our new products will noticeably impact performance
of electronics assemblies and the consumer products they enable.
Five Star dispersions will become an essential underlying technology
for multiple applications in a wide variety of markets."
