Plato's Brass Tip Cleaner removes burnt flux and oxidation from tips to improve wetting, heat-throughput, and tip life. Cleans quickly without water, eliminating thermal stress of tip from the wet sponge. Works with all popular soldering stations including Weller, Hakko, Pace, and Metcal. 

We received a letter from Techspray providing an updated status on their recent move to the new facility in Kennesaw, Georgia.  First off, they would like to extend their apologies for the “frustration and anguish due to a lack of communication” with the move.

The transfer to a new facility, combined with a SAP software conversion, led to a “tidal wave” of problems. Losing key employees, hiring, and training added to the disaster.

A problem we are all experiencing is the lack of response to shipment status questions. Finally, order acknowledgements with expected ship dates are being received and emergencies (line down, stock out for critical processes) are being taken care of quickly.  Additionally, weekly updates on back orders are being sent. New orders are being shipped in one to three weeks depending on the manufacturing schedule.  As we receive updates, we will pass along.

FINE-L-KOTE HIGH VISCOSITY AR CONFORMAL COATING 

Fine-L-Kote High Viscosity AR (part #2151) is an innovative acrylic conformal coating that gives PCB assemblers a wider process window and greater flexibility in their coating operation. High viscosity allows operators to use as-is for dipping, or to thin down for spray systems. This coating is tested and approved in the most popular selective spray systems, both atomized and airless models. Designed with high solids content to maximize coating thickness and reduce production time.

Fine-L-Kote High Viscosity AR is a great addition to Techspray's Turbo-Coat acrylic coating line. Turbo-Coat offers the advantages of incredibly fast cure time and now toxicity, while our new coating is ideal for increasing coating thickness and reducing material cost.
