Circuits Assembly - September 2008 - (Page 13) alpha halogenfree TM What concerns do you have about halogens in your circuit boards? FACT: Improper disposal of circuit boards can cause negative environmental and human health impact. If Halogen containing PCBs are not disposed of properly, harmful by-products such as dioxin, furan-like compounds and acidic or corrosive gasses can be released into the atmosphere. This potential toxicity issue is the reason why many companies are implementing controls to limit or eliminate halogens from their products. ALPHA® ZERO Halogen and Low Halogen products offer the excellent soldering and high reliability performance you expect from us. We have a full line of lead-free solder pastes and paste fluxes, wave-solder fluxes, and cored wire products that are either Zero Halogen or Low Halogen based on industry standards: IEC-61249-2-21, JPCA-ES-01-1999 and JSTD-709 (proposed). ® For more information visit: www.halogenfreesoldering.com.
