The Future of Flame Retardants in the Electronics Industry: Is My FR-4 Laminate Ok? 

Wednesday, May 18, 2005
9:00 am - 10:00 am (Central Time)
10:00 am - 11:00 am (Eastern Time)
16:00 - 17:00 (Central European Time)

The European Union's Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) includes a ban on the use of two brominated flame retardants currently used by the global electronics industry. 

Join this IPC/Soldertec`s webcast to learn about the implications of the WEEE and RoHS Directives for the electronics industry with regard to usage of brominated flame retardants and which alternative systems are available for use in housings, printed circuit boards and other components used in electrical and electronic products. 

Whether you have a compliance plan in place or are just getting started, you will find this webcast a quick and convenient way to get up to speed with this often forgotten portion of the RoHS directive. 

Topics to be Covered 
* Which materials are being banned? 
* Outline of the EU legislative process for brominated flame retardants 
* Understanding the level of restrictions. 
* What products are covered by RoHS? 
* What are the implications of the WEEE Directive? 
* Where are brominated flame retardants commonly found? 
* What alternative systems are available? 
* What questions should I be asking my suppliers? 
* What techniques are used to identify the banned materials? 

This webcast will be led by Dr. Paul Cusack, chemicals division manager for Tin Technology, UK. Paul graduated from Imperial College London in August 1977, with a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Chemistry. Since then, he has been employed by Tin Technology Limited (formerly the International Tin Research Institute), working primarily on the development of new and existing industrial applications of tin chemicals. During this period, he obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of London for work on tin-based flame retardants and smoke suppressants. He has authored over 100 technical papers on fundamental and applied aspects of tin chemistry and has undertaken and led projects in a wide range of areas including fire retardants, catalysts, pigments, ion exchangers, composite materials, conductive powders and colloidal sol - gel technology. 

The webcast will begin at 9:00 am (Central Time), 10:00 am (Eastern Time) and 16:00 (Central Europe Time). Just complete the linked registration form below and return it to IPC's registration department via fax at 847-615-7105.
