Will products built in this manner be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certifiable?

Views: 860
Answer: Indications are favorable, although no submittals have been made at the time of this writing. Verdant’s technology is a departure from the norm, but is expected to be produced using legacy materials that are UL certified. Testing and information-exchange is anticipated and acceptance is expected; especially because the improved process technology does not thermal-shock the electronics nor require high temperature exposure, typical of conventional SMT processing. Flame retardation will be important, and material-selection will accommodate that capability.
