In the world of electronics manufacturing, ESD managers have the critical role of ensuring that components do not get damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Corrosion protection is often a lower priority but should also be on the radar for manufacturers who want their electronics to reach the end user in good condition. Fortunately, Cortec® has led the industry in designing two-in-one packaging solutions that meet both needs and today is eager to turn the spotlight on EcoSonic® ESD Paper as a sustainable alternative to standard plastic ESD bags.

Corrosion + ESD Protection

Shipping is a vulnerable time for electronics as they pass through a variety of climates and temperature fluctuations that could prompt condensation on subassemblies inside a package. Any corrosion or even staining will call the integrity of an electronic into question when the end user unwraps it. Cortec® therefore coats EcoSonic® ESD Paper with Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI/VpCI®) to protect multi-metals from oxidizing. VpCI® molecules in the coating vaporize and diffuse throughout a packaging enclosure, adsorb on metal surfaces, and form a protective molecular layer that does not need to be cleaned off when the module is installed. To address ESD concerns, EcoSonic® ESD Paper also has a static-dissipative coating to eliminate static electricity buildup. With this coating, the ESD properties of EcoSonic® ESD Paper meet the requirements of ANSI/ESD STM11.11 for surface resistance and MIL-STD 3010C Method 4046 for static decay rate. The final result is a two-in-one recyclable VCI/ESD paper.

Replacing Plastic Bags for Everyday Use

Even while Cortec® has been creating dual corrosion inhibiting / static-dissipative packaging for electronics, plastic bags have remained the main packaging format for a variety of reasons. EcoSonic® ESD Paper takes an important departure from this norm by replacing plastic with recyclable paper sourced from trees, a renewable resource. This answers the call for paper packaging options from electronics manufacturers in Europe and Asia. EcoSonic® ESD Paper can be easily applied by wrapping it around an electronic and taping the folds to hold them in place and create an enclosure. EcoSonic® ESD Paper can also be used to create an instant static-dissipative workspace by laying the paper on a work bench where employees assemble or inspect sensitive electronic parts.

Take a New Approach to Electronics Packaging

ESD managers and packaging engineers who need static dissipation should also consider whether a specific application needs corrosion protection. With EcoSonic® ESD Paper, they have the additional option of choosing recyclable paper over plastic—in sync with the growing demand for environmentally responsible electronics packaging options. If you are ready to try a new approach to ESD packaging for electronics, contact Cortec® today.

Cortec® Corporation is the global leader in innovative, environmentally responsible VpCI® and MCI® corrosion control technologies for Packaging, Metalworking, Construction, Electronics, Water Treatment, Oil & Gas, and other industries. Our relentless dedication to sustainability, quality, service, and support is unmatched in the industry. Headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, Cortec® manufactures over 400 products distributed worldwide. ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, & ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified.

]]>
Promex Industries, a Silicon Valley-based provider of advanced design, packaging and microelectronics assembly services, and its San Diego-based division QP Technologies, a leading provider of innovative microelectronic packaging and assembly solutions, today announced a sales/marketing reorganization aimed at growing both companies’ core businesses. As part of this effort, key changes have been implemented at the executive level at both sites. Rosie Medina, who has served as vice president of sales and marketing for both companies over the past several years, was named senior vice president of sales and marketing for Promex’ Santa Clara site.
“As our business expands, we are focused on engaging with a broader customer set,” said Dave Fromm, Promex Chief Operations Officer. “Rosie has proven adept at establishing and building customer relationships. In her new role, she will take the lead in identifying new customers and educating them about Promex’s central value: helping solve difficult product development problems and building complex, high-value subassemblies for advanced applications such as medtech/biotech devices and MEMS and sensors.”
On the QP Technologies side, Matt Hansen has been promoted to VP of sales and marketing from his prior position as director of sales and business development for Promex. In this role, Hansen will leverage his experience to pursue new customers for QP Technologies in such key markets as the rapidly growing military-aerospace arena. Already ITAR-registered, the company is actively pursuing certification in AS9100, the international Quality Management System standard for the aviation, space and defense industry. Compliance with AS9100 is vital to gaining access to large OEMs and the broader supply chain.
Ken Molitor, Chief Operating Officer for QP Technologies, noted, “Rosie has done a fantastic job for us over the past nine years. With that said, Matt’s two-plus decades of experience in sales and business development and proven track record in revenue growth make him a valued addition to the QP team. We are the leader in quick-turn and low-medium volume, turnkey onshore IC packaging and assembly services, and having Matt dedicated to QP Technologies will allow us to enhance our customers’ overall experience.”
The reorganization was prompted by both companies’ continued strong growth, which has also fueled expansion of their respective manufacturing lines. QP Technologies is seeing strong demand from global customers across its offerings – in particular, for its air-cavity open-molded plastic packages (OmPP) and its custom turnkey solutions for high-performance, substrate-based assemblies. Promex experienced double-digit growth in fiscal 2024 (ended June 30), driven by escalating demand for its ability to solve complex integrated device challenges, including precision miniaturization processes for MEMS and sensor devices.
