Environmental Compliance
As an environmentally conscious company, KEMET is working continuously with improvements concerning the environmental
effects of both our capacitors and the production of them.
In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas like China, legislation has been put in place to prevent the
use of some hazardous materials, like Lead (Pb), in electronic equipment. All products in this catalog are produced to help
our customers' obligations to guarantee their products to fulll these legislative requirements. The only material of concern
in our products has been Lead (Pb), which has been removed from all designs to fulll the requirement of containing less
than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material.
KEMET will closely follow any changes in legislation world wide and makes any necessary changes in its products, whenever
needed.
Some customer segments like Medical, Military and Automotive Electronics may still require the use of Lead in electrode
coatings. To clarify the situation and distinguish products from each other, a special symbol is used on the packaging labels
for RoHS compatible and Pb-Free capacitors.
Because of customer requirements, additional markings such as "LF" for lead-free or "LFW" for lead-free wires may appear
on the packaging label.
Materials & Environment
The selection of materials used by KEMET for the production of capacitors is the result of extensive experience and
constant attention to environmental protection. KEMET selects its suppliers according to ISO 9001 standards and carries out
statistical analysis on the materials purchased before acceptance. All materials are, to the company's present knowledge,
non-toxic and free from cadmium, mercury, chrome and compounds, polychlorine triphenyl (PCB), bromide and chlorine
dioxins bromurate clorurate, CFC and HCFC, and asbestos.
Green Products
All KEMET power lm products are ROHS Compliant.
Insulation Resistance
When the capacitor temperature increases, the insulation resistance decreases. This is due to increased electron activity.
Low insulation resistance can also be the result of moisture trapped in the windings, caused by a prolonged exposure to
excessive humidity.
