Landal Seal®

With their new lead-free solder Landal-Seal®, Pfarr Stanztechnik pushed back the barriers of what was achievable. With a melting point of 214° C, this vacuum-quality solder offers a wide range of possibilities for metal joining processes. The patented chemical composition confers extraordinary metallurgical and mechanical properties on this solder. For instance, the stability to temperature cycling between -40° C and 150°C is about three times as high as for conventional SnAgCu solders.

Resistance to creepage and dealloying is much better than for SAC solders, while wetting properties are also greater.
