Technic Releases Ceramistan 1031
July 25, 2022 | TechnicEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Technic is pleased to announce the release of Ceramistan 1031, a pure tin electrolytic plating bath specially formulated for sensitive ceramic components, connectors, pins, and LED/MELF resistors. The Ceramistan 1031 process produces a dense, small grain deposit that provides excellent solderability, even after exposure to extended steam-age testing. The Ceramistan 1031 process offers several key cost-saving features including reduced coupling, longer bath life, and reduced oxidation.
Ceramistan 1031 also significantly reduces and can even eliminate spattering during reflow, a problem that often occurs with a standard tin bath. The process is compatible with all standard barrel and vibratory plating lines, and Technic’s patented Spouted Bed Electroplater (SBE®).
“Ceramistan 1031 has proven to be an ideal solution for applications requiring pure tin. The process performs extremely well in a full range of applications with consistent quality of the deposit and performance. With a longer bath life, reduced coupling, and reduced oxidation, Ceramistan 1031 has shown significant improvements to the quality, cost, and performance in pure tin plating for electronic applications,” says Eric Smith, R&D Chemist, Technic Advanced Technology Division.

Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator
03/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.
