Epoxy adhesives with soldering properties

Abstract

There are two main advantages of epoxy resins with soldering properties: there are no more potentially harmful residues after soldering, and after the soldering process the epoxy residues act as a protective residue; the epoxy residues act as a mechanical reinforcement of the assembly (component + substrate). Epoxy resins with soldering properties can be classified in two groups of products: partial mechanical reinforcement around the specific solder joints; and full mechanical reinforcement beneath the body of the component.
