Someone forwarded this article to me.
It does not say "lead-free" so I assume nothing. Does anyone have any hard data
on this?
Is anyone from Matsushita a member of this forum?

Matsushita Electric (UK) has made Henkel Loctite Adhesives' 'environmentally
friendly' fume-free solder standard in all its production units.

The product contains no rosin, the source of fumes produced in the
production process.

Mark Williams, process engineer at Matsushita, said: "The changeover was
quick and straightforward, completed as part of our environmental policy and
made without increasing costs."
