Enthone, Inc. has introduced OrmeSTAR Ultra printed wiring board (PWB) final finish. The organic metal-based, Nanofinish® technology consumes approximately 90 per cent less energy and creates less waste versus elelectroless nickel/immersion gold (ENIG) and other traditional metallic final finishes. When compared to ENIG, OrmeSTAR Ultra reduces process time by 75 per cent. The finish costs 30 per cent less then ENIG, with no "black pad" risk. The versatile process delivers a high efficiency in application and operation throughout the entire supply chain.
