Green Chemical Products

Reduction in raw material, chemistry, energy and water consumption as well as increased process stability and improvements in product quality can be achieved by aligning Atotech's green technologies to customers' manufacturing processes.

Pb-free Surface Finishes
Tin and NiAu finishes to replace SnPb hot air solder levelling.

EDTA-free Electroless Cu
Atotech high-tech processes do not contain EDTA.

Biodegradable Cleaners
Wetting agents in acid cleaners are fully biodegradable.

Halogen-free Base Material
All PCB base materials developed by Atotech are free of halogens.

Solvent-free Manufacturing of Substrates
ADEPT technology is Atotech's unique process for creating advanced dielectrics (RCF and R-RCF) by the application of dry powders only, thereby completely eliminating the need for organic solvents in the manufacture of such materials.
Each % of market share will generate annual environmental savings of 32 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide and 1 MWh of electricity.

Bonding Enhancement
Increased copper loading capacity of 45 g/L reduces copper waste and chemistry consumption - up to 50% of waste reduction compared to standard operations.

Cyanide-free Zincates for Al-Pads
Alkaline and acidic versions.

Cyanide-free Gold Bath
For Semiconductor applications.
