IntroductionGC 10 Features & Benefits
Product Attribute Process Benefit
Technology Printing
Advantages
• Wide process window for printing and minimal slump
• Fine pitch abandon time of up to 2 hours; work life > 16 hours
• Fine pitch capability and reduction in solder bridging
• Suited for high throughput production, where yield consistency on print
deposits is key
• Improved paste transfer efficiency
• Allows on line paste utilisation protocols to be re-written
Technology Reflow
Advantages
• Optimised for long hot soak reflow processes
• Very shiny Pb-free solder joints over wide range of reflow
• Excellent fine pitch coalescence
• Excellent humidity resistance
• Excellent solderability on challenging surface finishes (ENIG, Copper OSP,
CuNiZn and Imm Ag)
Low Voiding • Low void levels increases solder joint reliability
• New chemistries allow pursuit of class 3 void levels in accordance to IPC7095B
on industry surface finishes: ENIG, Copper OSP, CuNiZn and Imm Ag
• Low voiding in CSP
Residues • Clear, transparent and colourless
• Pin testable after 5x reflows

• GC 10 solder pastes show exceptional print quality
• On 0.18mm diameter fine pitch devices only one knead stroke is required after 2hour machine down times
• On coarser pitch deposits it is expected that the first print after abandon can in normal circumstances be
perfectly acceptable for production quality

• LOCTITE GC 10 solder paste offers halogen containing reflow performance in a
truly halogen free formulation
• GC 10 shows excellent coalescence onto a range of PCB and component finishes
especially during long-hot profiles
• There is no single profile that works for all applications and each process should be
assessed individually, under laboratory conditions the following profiles have been
found to give good results
• These process window guidelines are suitable for Type 4 SAC powder

• Print solder paste on a Cu plate, 0402 pad, stencil thickness 125 m.
• When the solder paste starts to melt, place a solder sphere (SAC305,
0.76mm diameter) on the printed solder paste
• Place another sphere after 3sec, 6 sec, 9sec… until the solder sphere
no-longer coalesces
