Products Approved For Use in Europe:
Solder Masks for Rigid PCBs:
-Non-DI version for customers who want a less sensitive version. Yellowish ceiling lights are often a problem because they do not block 100% of UV rays.
-Developed for the automotive industry. Meets the highest requirements of the automotive industry, e.g., storage at 200 degrees Celsius for 2000 hours.
-This solder resist mask is 100% REACH compliant. This material can also be used for spraying, curtain coating, and screen printing.
-Available in green.
-This DI version of this lacquer is particularly fast—on a Schmoll exposure system, exposure energies of around 150 mJ/cm² are achieved to obtain a Stouffer step of 10 free.

About REACH Regulations:
Taiyo America is the first solder mask company to develop solder resist inks for the European market that do not contain any substances from the REACH list (as of November 2025).
These Products Include:
-PSR 4000 CC01SE DI EU (and non-DI version PSR 4000 CC01SE EU)
-PSR 4000 HH01XR DI
-PSR 9000 FTX EU
Introduction to REACH:
REACH is a European regulation (EC No. 1907/2006) that aims to make the handling of chemical substances safer, ensure environmental and health protection, and comprehensively assess and regulate the risks of chemicals.
The abbreviation REACH stands for “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals.”
The Key Points of REACH:
Registration: Required for all chemical substances manufactured or imported into the EU at 1 ton or more per year.
Evaluation: Conducted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to assess chemical properties and potential risks.
Authorization: Mandated specifically for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
Restrictions: Sets strict conditions for manufacturing, using, or marketing hazardous chemicals.
Information Sharing: Promotes the exchange of chemical data throughout the entire supply chain.
Core Principle:
REACH operates on a “no data, no market” rule, meaning unauthorized or unregistered chemical substances are strictly banned from manufacture or use within the EU market.
