If you can make your way to Orlando in August, Dr. Ron Lasky and I will be presenting a 1/2 day workshop on halogen-free. It is tutorial #T21 on Monday, August 18th from 8:00-11:30AM.
We will be discussing the environmental and legislative drivers pushing electronics manufacturers toward halogen-free. In addition, we will address all assembly materials which could potentially contain halogens and the process impact of using these materials.
