Photo Stencil Offers Full Range of Stencils in VectorGuard Frames
Photo Stencil, LLC, a leading full-service provider of high- performance stencils and tooling, now makes available its full range of stencil products and technologies integrated in DEK’s VectorGuard® frameless stencil tensioning system. This includes Photo Stencil’s new NicAlloy-XT™, chemical etch, step, coated, laser-cut, and electroformed stencils. The VectorGuard system delivers space savings and convenience with maximum ease- of-use and repeatable and accurate foil tension and alignment. It enables safer handling, is clean, compact, keeps stencil foils hanging in an orderly manner, and the system is recyclable as the frames can be reused. VectorGuard’s high accuracy
foil tensioning and alignment is automatic, reducing mounting time
to seconds.Enhanced rigidity makes it easier to retrieve, fi t, and tension the foil. Protective cassettes reduce storage space by up to 75% compared to conventional stencils, and Photo Stencil stencils in VectorGuard frames are available in all stencil thicknesses. “Photo Stencil has been a licensee
of DEK’s VectorGuard system for over six years,” said Neil MacRaild, CEO and president, Photo Stencil. “We have developed a comprehensive range of stencil products in a VectorGuard foil. The user benefi ts from Photo Stencil’s proprietary processes such as NiPlate™, that ensures ultra-smooth aperture walls and superior paste release, and NanoCoat™, for the highest quality print deposit.” “VectorGuard is one of the most
robust and user-friendly frameless systems on the market. Photo Stencil is unique in offering a full range of stencil products, including mixed technology/hybrid stencils, in VectorGuard frames. Customers in
Gore Introduces New Generation of PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters
W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) is introducing a new generation of PTFE membranes in HDPE cartridge fi lters, for the manufacture of high-purity chemicals used in semiconductor and LCD / FPD fabrication at SEMICON Japan 2011, Chiba, Japan, December 7-9, in Booth 2B-201. The new GORE® Filters feature Gore’s latest ePTFE
(expanded polytetrafl uoroethylene) membrane technology
all market sectors, including surface mount technology, semiconductor packaging, solar, medical, and industrial, can now take advantage of these frameless systems, and it makes great business sense for them, too,” commented Rachel Miller-Short, VP of sales, Photo Stencil. Visit

that provides unsurpassed combinations of retention and fl ow performance. All non-PTFE components utilize high density polyethylene (HDPE) to ensure exceptionally low organic and metal ion extractables. The HDPE family of cartridge fi lters will be available in three retention ratings – 0.1 µm, 30 nm and 20 nm. The new HDPE family of cartridge fi lters can be used as
drop-in replacements for existing fi lters to provide 150% up to 400% improvement in fl ow capability over the best fi lter technology currently available at the same retention rating. This dramatically increased performance can provide a drop-in retention upgrade while maintaining system fl ow capacity. At the same retention, this performance can be used to increase process capacity, or decrease the number of fi lters needed. The fi lters are ideal for high-turnover recirculation fi lter systems or as the fi nal fi lter in high- throughput chemical fi lling and packaging systems. Gore’s ePTFE fi ltration media has been used for decades
in the world’s best-performing fi lters for semiconductor, electronics, ultrapure water and high-purity chemical applications. These new GORE® Filters will be featured at SEMICON
Japan by Nihon Gore in Booth 2B-201. To learn more, visit
