LOCTITE GC 10 — The Solder Paste Game Changer

 

 LOCTITE GC 10 is a halogen free, zero halogens added, no-clean, low voiding, Pb-free solder paste specially formulated to provide added long-term stability over a wide range of temperature conditions. The enhanced paste stability created through its novel formulation strategy increases both field application yields and on-line paste utilization.

 

Technology

No-clean and Halogen-free Solder Paste
