Environmentally Responsible
Lintek prides it’s self on being an environmentally responsible manufacturer. The vapor deposition process eliminates many chemical process steps used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. This can include the elimination of :
- Palladium Chloride
- Formaldehyde
- Complexed Coppers
- Reducing Agents
- Stannous Chloride
- Sodium etch
- Tin plating
- Tin Stripping
Between 2003 and 2008 the local region was in severe drought and water restrictions were introduced for the community. Although local businesses were not required to reduce water consumption Lintek undertook a project to reduce the plants water consumption by 60%. By installing new equipment and recycling much of the water used, Lintek has succeeded in achieving the 60% reduction.
