Ventec at electronica 2018: No Compromises for High-Frequency Materials
November 2, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Ventec International Group will announce the launch of its extended ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series designed for the world's most demanding high-frequency printed circuit board applications at this year’s electronica show in Munich. The global Ventec team will also be on hand in hall A1 at booth #468 to present the company’s unique laminate and prepreg capability across a very wide range of applications and budgets under the theme of ‘No more compromises: Price, Performance and Availability.'
From 13-16 November, electronica 2018 will be the global launch platform for Ventec's extended tec speed 20.0 range of ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series. Combining unrivalled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48/Df 0.002-0.0037), superior loss characteristics and the highest reliability with fast availability and efficient delivery through Ventec's fully controlled and managed global supply chain and technical support-network, the tec-speed 20.0 series offers excellent dimensional stability and uniform mechanical properties that help limit PIM. With the extended tec speed 20.0 range, Ventec has responded to customer demands for high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency materials that are supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
Other show highlights include:
Material Showcase
A special product & material showcase will demonstrate PCB material applications including a power module and a LED lighting module that illustrates examples of IMS boards combined with FR4 control boards made with Ventec’s high performance and highly reliable IMS materials like VT-4B5SP, VT-4B5L and VT-4B7. Automotive manufacturers around the world, including Ford, Tesla, VAG, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Volkswagen, Tata, Bentley, Daimler Benz, BMW, Renault-Nissan, Jaguar/Land Rover, Maclaren Automotive, already rely on Ventec's thermal management materials for a range of applications including LED headlights, ECU, break energy reclamation & e-power train establishing Ventec as a global leader in technology for high performance thermal management materials.
Announcing European Distribution Agreement for Thermal Interface Materials
As a perfect complement to Ventec’s IMS material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB’s, Ventec has teamed up with EMI Thermal to provide a range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) to the European market. TIM is a thermally conductive medium used to fill the air gaps between mating surfaces in electronic components. Air is a poor conductor of heat and creates a thermal barrier which stops the transfer of heat between the component and its heatsink or chassis. EMI Thermal’s range of materials distributed through Ventec includes double sided thermal tape, electrical insulators, natural graphite and void fillers, that ensure reliability and performance and prevent electronic components from overheating and being damaged or burnt out.
With a one-stop-service solution for customers, Ventec also offers further distribution products to the European PCB and electronics industry including flexible laminates (ThinFlex/Arisawa) and a full range of PCB production consumable products covering standard and speciality (Centrum & Glossback) drill materials, copper foils including ACF.
Stock exchange Listing Celebration
Ventec is amid a transformative phase of its impressive history, having been successfully listed and trading on the Emerging Stock Market of the Taipei Stock Exchange since 16 January 2018 and currently completing the process for a TPEx Mainboard listing for early 2019. To celebrate the successful IPO as well as the launch of its latest product offerings, Ventec is looking forward to hosting show-visitors at its booth party on Wednesday, 14 November from 18:00 to 21:30.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
