Ventec Invests in Key Equipment to Support Expansion of PTFE Laminates Manufacturing
December 16, 2019 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has significantly increased its PTFE laminate manufacturing capabilities following a strategic investment in a new state-of-the-art high-temperature press and lay-up/break-down line at its Suzhou (China) manufacturing plant.
With 5G and evermore sophisticated radar applications, the demand and requirements for low loss/high frequency material is accelerating. Critical RF/Microwave-, antenna-, power amplifier- and sub-assembly-applications require superior electrical performance that can be delivered through PTFE laminates. To serve the increasing demand of these PTFE type products, Ventec has strengthened its investment in its Suzhou manufacturing plant to be even better positioned for the increase in demand and meet customers accelerated radar and 5G deployment requirements.
The most recent important equipment investment in a new state-of-the-art high-temperature press and lay-up/break-down line at Ventec’s Suzhou (China) manufacturing plant delivers a significant increase in manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand for PTFE laminates. This includes the launch and roll-out of tec-speed 30.0 - Ventec’s latest ceramic filled high-speed/high-frequency PTFE material range that offers the highest signal-integrity characteristics for the most advanced high-frequency systems such as 77~79 GHz automotive radar systems.
tec-speed 30.0 (VT-3703) offers:
- Dk 3.0 with extremely low Df (0.0009)
- DK-stability versus temperature
- Lower in-plane thermal expansion
The current Dk 3.0 tec-speed 30.0 version will be supplemented by Dk 6.15 and Dk 10.2 versions in the first half of 2020, offering an even wider range of options for applications such as automotive radar, cellular base stations, power amplifiers & antennas, global positioning satellite antennas, patch antennas for wireless communication or power backplanes.
Jason Chung, CEO said: "The investment and installation of the PTFE manufacturing line is yet another important piece of the puzzle in our global growth program. The addition of the line to our range of capabilities demonstrates to our customers our commitment to maintaining the most up-to-date manufacturing technologies that support our clients’ PCB design, development and manufacturing needs."

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.
