Is Type II Chem Film RoHS Compliant?

July 18, 2008

I know that Type II states "no hexavalent chromium" but how can we be assured that it does not contain other RoHS restricted materials such as cadmium, lead, mercury, BPE, or BPDE?

Hi, Richard. Chem Film should not contain those things. But there is no problem with adding a line to you spec that requires RoHS compliance
