August 10, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions, will highlight its range of advanced solutions for circuit board assembly at the upcoming SMTA Queretaro Expo, Mexico on August 18, SMTA Ohio Expo, USA on August 24 and SMTA Chihuahua Expo on August 25.
MacDermid Alpha’s latest low temperature innovation, ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 solder paste, will be a highlight at all three SMTA Expos. The paste is designed to minimize warpage induced defects and enhance product reliability compared to existing low temperature solutions. At the SMTA Chihuahua Expo, Francisco Gallegos, Customer Technical Support Engineer – Mexico, will present a paper on this topic with ‘Low Temperature Soldering: Traditional Sn-Bi alloys and Latest Developments in High Reliability Alloys for SMT and PTH Applications’.
Additionally, MacDermid Alpha will promote the ALPHA HiTech range of adhesives, underfills, edgebonds and encapsulants. These epoxy-based materials provide reinforcement and protection for soldered assembled components, enhancing reliability. Sustainability initiatives will also be a key focus, with emphasis on MacDermid Alpha’s Reclaim and Recycling Services. Offering safe and efficient recycling services, this service helps companies meet their environmental and legislative requirements, and at the same time, maximize the value of their waste streams.
2022 is an important milestone for MacDermid Alpha with the business celebrating 250 years of combined innovation. The MacDermid brand is celebrating 100 years of supplying specialty chemical solutions for the most complex printed circuit board and IC substrate designs.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
