If the Cu on the laminate is Cr+6 passivated on receipt, it won't be by
the time you've prepared it for lamination as surely the pretreatment
will remove the passivation layer?

Hi Eddie! Just to add to Rudy's comments - any chromate conversion
coating that is Cr+6 based does convert to Cr+3 when damaged (e.g. the
self healing
aspect) but there is always some of the Cr+6 species around. Any
chromate conversion coating that is Cr+6 based is not RoHS compliant.
Your supplier is incorrect unless he/she is supplying a Cr+3 or zero
chromate conversion coating as Rudy described. Qualifying a substitute
conversion coating that is "as good as or better than" a Cr+6 conversion
coating is not an easy task depending on your use environment
conditions. Good Luck.

Was this a tough question? I didn't receive but one response. Thanks
Rudy.
Eddie:
Not clear I can "explain" something which is likely incorrect.
If your vendors start with Cr +6, the likelihood of there being zero
Cr+6 on the foil is near zero... certainly some of the Cr +6 reacts with
Copper metal Cu0 to form Cr+3 and
Cu+2, but all of it? Hah... dream on.
However, before you go off and begin screaming, I suspect strongly that
some producers of foil may well be switching from Cr+6 to zero Cr
coating... I cannot fathom why organics could not do as good a job...
And if there are foil producers who need some technology to assist this
change, contact me... :-)

substance I need to understand why all my laminate suppliers have
certified their material to be RoHS compliant.
One supplier responded by stating that Cr6 is reduced to a state of Cr3
or Cr0 which is not a restricted substance.
Can somebody explain how it goes from a state of Cr6 to one of the
reduced states and why sometimes Cr3 versus Cr0?
Thank you,
Eddie Rocha
