Description :
Do your military products contain any of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) materials, including Cd, Pb, brominated flame retardants, etc.?

Answer :
Military designers often demand finishes that contain Pb, and KEMET supplies these as required, although such lead finishes are not favored by RoHS restrictions. There is also Pb in the internal construction of our leaded military products, as well as in the internal ceramic fired matrix of some of our ceramic chips. However, this is allowed by RoHS. Note that the molding compound on KEMET leaded military product does not contain the brominated flame retardants cited by RoHS. More environmental information can be found at KEMET’s Green Product Roadmap.
