2nd February 2005 Global Tech International begins Research & Development program with Rohm and Haas for coatings and metallization technology when applying GTI’s Mariposa MMT™ surface modification system Global Tech International (GTI) – is pleased to announce that they have begun an extensive Research & Development program with Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, L.L.C. www.rohmhaas.com . Rohm and Haas is the world’s leader in environmentally friendly coatings technologies. Because GTI has developed a patent pending method of controlling the Mariposa MMT ™ process, the research and development division of Rohm and Haas has done exhaustive testing on the metallization capabilities with precise repetition of results on all samples tested thus far. Rohm and Haas will direct GTI to its various customers who can economically also reproduce the same results and parameters as the test plaque treated at the Rohm and Haas laboratories. These industrial applications are all subjects of various patents pending and will be offered exclusively to GTI licensees. Any improvements to the system due to the joint engineering efforts of Rohm and Haas and GTI, will remain the intellectual property of GTI Management believes that this alliance with Rohm and Haas will be a great advantage for GTI, as Rohm and Haas not only leads the industry in conductive materials coatings, but also in adhesives, medical applications, and thousands of other patented coating applications. Initial test results of various treated polymers indicated that the metallized Mariposa MMT ™ treated material prove to be 100% conductive. Just as remarkable were the tests that indicated that the physical properties of the polyethylene substrate were identical to the metal imparted to the new metal/polymer composite. The nickel, copper, and trivalent chrome surfaces provided the polymer with the same characteristics of hardness, conductivity, barrier, etc., as the metal alone. GTI is developing a proprietary Circuit Board Technology and Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials Circuit Board Technologies engineers and scientists have extensive experience as a work partner with customers and OEMs to deliver state-of-the-art products for current and future market needs. Their main research, development and engineering laboratories in Marlborough, Massachusetts are co-located with Microelectronics Technologies R&D, facilitating extensive technical collaboration. In addition to the Massachusetts location, Circuit Board Technologies has extensive R&D facilities in Coventry, England, Omiya and Sasakami, Japan and Hong Kong. We also maintain a state of the art research facility to support embedded passives at our Norcross, Georgia location. The Circuit Board Technologies available through Rohm and Haas, balances its technology investment between continuous improvement in products based on our core technologies (electroless and electroplating, making holes conductive, inner layer bonding, liquid resist imaging, dielectric materials including soldermask) and investment in enabling technologies for the industry (embedded passives, optoelectronics and environmentally friendly circuit board fabrication). Top engineers and scientists with diverse backgrounds drawn from the circuit board and optoelectronic industries, polymer science, metallurgy, thin film science and electrochemistry collaborate on our cross-functional product development teams. Their Global Process Engineering team that works closely with GTI on new product needs and installation of new processes. Their Circuit Board Technologies division has a long history of innovation over the last five decades and continues to invest in new and improved products and technology that provide value to our customers, partners and to the industry. Rohm and Haas (ROH) is a publicly traded Fortune 500 company. |
