Next-Generation Polyimide Labels for Advanced PCB Manufacturing

Overview

The Apex™ Series is engineered for next-generation PCB manufacturing. Advanced coating technology delivers exceptional resistance to high-temperature reflow, aggressive cleaning chemicals, and demanding production environments while maintaining superior print quality, durable adhesion, and reliable traceability.

Features

• Improved Heat Resistance — engineered for extreme thermal cycles, keeping labels secure and readable.
• Improved Chemical & Flux Resistance — withstands the harshest PCB processes, including high-pressure washes and aggressive fluxes.
• Precision Readability — maintains small-font and barcode readability through reflow and cleaning.
• Superior Print Performance — optimized for crisp, high-contrast TTR printability.
• Made in the USA, trusted global supplier — the quality you expect from a specialist in high-performance label materials.

Benefits

• Built for today’s fluxes, cleaners, and multi-cycle reflow.
• 72% improvement in flux solder performance vs. our legacy line, validated in testing.
• 15% improvement in cleaner resistance vs. our legacy line, helping labels survive high-pressure washes.
• Enhanced ink transfer for more defined images, even at smaller font sizes — designed to extend printhead life and maintain readability through exposure to highly caustic solutions.
• Coating and adhesive system engineered for elevated temperatures, ensuring labels stay put and remain readable.

Specifications

• Unified thermal: 150°C/100h continuous · 260°C/5min reflow peak · 300°C/90s extreme
• Permanent acrylic adhesive; all 9 models UL certified (REACH & RoHS compliant)
