LOCTITE GC 10 and LOCTITE GC 3W

The game changers

Simple, Scalable and Temperature Stable

The LOCTITE GC solder paste platform changes everything you thought you knew about solder. Uniquely stable flux chemistry delivers unprecedented performance and is the basis of all LOCTITE GC materials, including the award-winning LOCTITE GC 10 and water-washable LOCTITE GC 3W.

The Anatomy of a Game Changer

LOCTITE GC 10 is stable at 26.5°C for one year and at temperatures of up to 40°C for one month, providing benefits throughout the logistics and operations chain, while still offering unbeatable printability and reflow performance.

Cost Savings

Do away with complicated paste management procedures and refrigerated rotations. Simply take LOCTITE GC solder paste materials off the shelf, put them on the stencil and start printing. Realize the profitability impact of reducing material waste with more than 95% paste utilization, eliminating end-of-shift scrap procedures and dramatically reducing defect rates.

LOCTITE GC 10's superb coalescence in air on 0201, 01005 and 0.03 mm CSP components eliminates the requirement for nitrogen reflow, does away with numerous defects and promotes better wetting for solder joint reliability. The material has shown zero dewetting on a long hot soak profile, with minimal hot slump at 182°C. When compared to other well-known industry solder pastes, LOCTITE GC 10 exhibits enviable reflow performance.

BIC Printing: LOCTITE printing performance graph

When it comes to printing performance, there is simply nothing better than LOCTITE GC 10. Impartial third-party testing has confirmed LOCTITE GC 10's ability to provide the absolute best paste transfer efficiency and paste-on-pad material volumes for challenging, miniaturized component types. Plus, exceptionally long abandon times of up to 24 hours, a staggering stencil life of up to 72 hours and zero start-up time deliver ease-of-use, higher yields and improved profitability.
