PCB Solder Stencils Specialized for High Yield Production
Advanced SMT Laboratory
BlueRing Stencils boasts a state-of-the-art SMT Laboratory, equipped with SPI, Pick and Place, Reflow, and X-Ray capabilities—setting us apart from any other stencil company in the United States. This unique facility allows us to continuously enhance our technology and processes. Our groundbreaking stencil coating technologies, NanoSlic and MicroShield, are the results of a collaboration between our SMT Laboratory and Polymer Chemists. These innovations enable precise printing for the latest ultra-small component apertures.

NanoSlic Gold: Engineered to Last
In our continued research and development of NanoSlic Gold (NSG), we explored numerous methods for increasing stencil longevity and transfer efficiency, including popular methods like Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
In the end, however, we discovered a method that increased stencil longevity by as much as ten times, without sacrificing transfer efficiency: Laser Direct Structuring (LDS).
NanoSlic® Gold Solder Stencil Coating
The Exclusive U.S. & Canadian Licensee of NanoSlic® Gold
BRS is the only licensee in the U.S. and Canada of the Most Popular and Proven Coated Stencil in the market. The NanoSlic chemistry was not bought, it was built from the surface up. We worked closely with industry partners to develop a top of the line stencil coating. Through the use of our SMT testing lab, we were able to simulate a high production assembly environment to push the limits of NanoSlic Gold. Our lab allows us to continue research and development of new coating technologies that adapt to our customers’ rapidly evolving processes.
The NanoSlic Gold coating technology improves stencils from both a surface function and an aperture function. The most important aspect of the coating is that it’s both Hydrophobic and Oleophobic, which means the coating repels both water-based chemistry and oil-based chemistry. The result is that solder paste does not stick to the underside of the stencil even if the gasket is not perfect during the stencil print process.
