In applications ranging from networking & computer equipment and mobile phones, to industrial and household machine controls, industry initiatives and legislation aimed at protecting the environment are driving the new offerings of alternative “halogen-free”¹ products. While halogens do not cause harm to humans or the environment in the form contained in electronic devices, the disposal of the halogenated material at its end-of-life creates environmental concerns.

The term “Halogen Free”¹, much like the term “Lead-Free”, does not necessarily indicate a complete absence of halogens. The International Electrochemical Commission (IEC) defines halogen free based on chlorine and bromine levels in parts per million. IPC – a global industry association – is also finalizing a draft standard defining halogen levels for electrical and electronic devices.
