VALTRON® epoxy adhesive systems are available in various formulations designed to meet the specific needs and performance requirements in photovoltaic (solar) and semiconductor wafer production using both annular (ID) slicing and wire saw slicing processes. These patented two-component quick-curing adhesive systems are made with unique components and offer performance characteristics that maximize production throughput and reduce the amount of stress occurring between the crystalline ingot and the adhesive. This reduction in thermal stress from curing results in a decrease in the amount of edge chips that occur during ID slicing. VALTRON® adhesives prevent ID blade loading onto the annular saw and will eliminate saw marks, increase saw blade life, and improve slicing yields. Easy removal of the epoxy adhesive from the sliced wafers with a VALTRON® heated detergent solution eliminates the need for aggressive acids, caustics, and solvents. VALTRON® adhesives are color pigmented to easily indicate when a complete mix of resin and hardener is achieved, and provide fast cure times at room temperature to improve increased productivity.
VALTRON® epoxy adhesives are designed for the annular (ID) slicing process. Unique components are incorporated into product formulations to reduce the amount of physical stress occurring between the crystalline material and the epoxy adhesives. This reduction in stress results in a decrease in the amount of exit chips that occur during slicing. These epoxies are also designed to prevent loading onto the annular saw blade and will eliminate saw marks and increase saw blade life.
Valtech Corporation has developed adhesive products designed specifically for the wire slicing process. These quick curing adhesive systems were developed to maximize production throughput. Removal of the epoxy from the sliced wafers is easily accomplished with a heated VALTRON® detergent solution, eliminating the need for aggressive acids and solvents.
VALTRON® temporary bonding adhesives are two-part epoxies that are formulated for easy debonding from substrates offering an alternative to wax mounting of parts with the added benefit of easier cleaning. VALTRON® temporary adhesives are strong enough to support typical slicing or machining operations after a one-hour cure time at room temperature. Following the cutting or machining process, parts are easily dismounted from any substrate by placing in hot water at a temperature of range of 90 – 95°C (203°F). Sufficient volume of hot water (preferably DI) is required so water temperature does not drop below 90°C when parts are placed in the demounting bath. This same bonding adhesive technology can also be used as a temporary protective coating for sensitive components.
“The technical and R&D support that Valtech has supplied us with over the years has been instrumental in our growth and quality control. The quality and consistency of the consumables they supply us, as well as the reliability of scheduled deliveries has earned them an A+ in our vendor ratings.”

"Disk drives are unique within the electronics industry in that they must maintain and extremely clean internal environment throughout their operational life. Valtech was successful in delivering uniquely qualified surfactant systems for both metal and polymer-based drive components. The qualification phase was aided by a top tier R&D center, and the switch to full production was backed up by great customer support as well as trouble-free worldwide distribution."

“I cannot thank the team at Valtech enough for the recent support and technical expertise with our most challenging precision cleaning task to date. Not only did they spend the onsite/hands on time learning about our needs first person, but the solution they delivered was 100% on target and met our customer's requirements completely. Top notch outfit and I highly recommend them to anyone in any high-tech industry where the smallest particles matter.”

“Our company has been a customer of the Valtech Corporation for over 10 years. As a quality and environmental professional, my responsibility is to drive organization excellence within my company. I place a premium on great customer service. Recently we were faced with an environmental challenge due to our Industrial Wastewater Permit. Valtech’s customer and technical services professionals resolved the issue very quickly, and in the process, made me feel like I was their most important customer.”

Our facility has been using Valtech adhesives since 2019. They worked with us until they found the adhesive that best fits our needs.
We have been able to incorporate this product in many areas, but the one that we use this for the most is for our product that goes into fighting cancer.
Recently we were on the brink of running out of the adhesive and this group of people pulled together to make sure that this did not happen. It was very important to our company and for the people that are fighting cancer.
