PEEK challenges PPS for lead-free soldering.Regulations favoring lead-free soldering soldering Process that uses metal alloys with low melting points to join metallic surfaces without melting them. Tin-lead solders, once widely used in the electrical and plumbing industries, are now replaced by lead-free alloys. of electronic and semiconductor parts prompted Victrex USA, in Greenville, SC, to reformulate Verb 1. reformulate - formulate or develop again, of an improved theory or hypothesis redevelop formulate, explicate, develop - elaborate, as of theories and hypotheses; "Could you develop the ideas in your thesis" its PEEK materials for the role. Japanese manufacturers are adopting PEEK in place of PPS (Packets Per Second) The measurement of activity in a local area network (LAN). In LANs such as Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI, as well as the Internet, data is broken up and transmitted in packets (frames), each with a source and destination address. for electrolytic e·lec·tro·lyt·ic adj. 1. Of or relating to electrolysis. 2. Produced by electrolysis. 3. Of or relating to electrolytes. e·lec capacitors and miniature rechargeable batteries. A major reason is that PEEK is heat-resistant up to 315 C, versus 240 C for PPS. Lead-free soldering generates twice the heat of conventional soldering. Victrex offers both custom and generic grades for lead-free soldering. These include versions with 30% glass fiber and others based on combinations of glass and other reinforcements.
