Abstract:
A halogen-free, flame-retardant insulating epoxy resin composition which comprises (1) an epoxy resin, (2) a curing agent for the epoxy resin, (3) a phosphate of a resorcinol type, (4) aluminum hydroxide, and (5) a cure accelerator for the epoxy resin. The composition displays necessary flame retardant properties and sufficient insulating properties after the formation of an insulating layer in a circuit board, withstands a plating process, and does not cause the bleedout of the insulation layer formed. A circuit board with flame retardant properties comprising insulation layers formed of the epoxy resin composition is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A composite dielectric material comprising a resin resulting from a polyvinylbenzyl ether compound and a dielectric ceramic powder dispersed therein is useful in the high-frequency region. A composite magnetic material comprising a polyvinylbenzyl ether compound and a magnetic powder is also provided as well as a flame retardant material comprising a polyvinylbenzyl ether compound and a flame retardant. These materials may be used in the fabrication of substrates, prepreg sheets, coated metal foils, molded items, and metal foil-clad substrates.
Abstract:
To provide an epoxy resin composition for printed circuit boards which demonstrates little tendency to absorb moisture, high heat-resistance, favorable high temperature properties, resistance to metal migration, favorable anti-fade property at high temperatures, high Tg, high electric insulating performance and resistance against peeling of the copper foil when formed into a printed circuit board, there is provided epoxy resin composition for printed circuit boards, comprising: (a) epoxy resin obtained by glycidyl etherifying a condensation product of a phenol and hydroxybenzaldehyde; (b) a condensation product of bisphenol A and formaldehyde; (c) a flame retardant; (d) a curing agent; (e) one or both of a phenol antioxidant and an organic sulfur compound antioxidant; and (f) a urea derivative. This composition is highly suitable as a material for manufacturing epoxy resin prepreg in general and printed circuit boards.
Abstract:
Curable compositions containing a reaction product of at least one bisphenol polyglycidyl ether, at least one epoxidized novolak and at least one brominated bisphenol, in combination with a polyphenylene ether and further components including specific catalysts and hardeners, may be used in the preparation of laminates useful as printed circuit boards and having excellent physical and electrical properties.
Abstract:
Aqueous emulsions of epoxy resins, which can be used to treat glass cloth used in the preparation of printed circuit board laminates, are produced by combining an epoxy resin and a flame retardant phenol, such as tetrabromobisphenol A, with a selected nonionic surface active agent, such as an alkylaryl polyether alcohol, monomethylol dicyandiamide curing agent and, if needed, a catalyst.
Abstract:
The non-flammable adhesive compositions contain 100 parts by weight of a brominated epoxy resin such as a bisphenol type brominated epoxy resin or a novolak type brominated epoxy resin; 40-80 parts by weight of an acrylic copolymer and 5-20 parts by weight of a brominated polyvinyl phenol, said acrylic copolymer being prepared by copolymerizing (a) 5-35% by weight of acrylonitrile, (b) 0.5-10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated compound having at least one functional group selected from carboxyl, hydroxyl and epoxy group, and (c) substantially the balance of an ester obtainable from an alcohol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board having excellent flame proofness and a very little danger of causing a fire can be produced by subjecting a substrate or an insulating film consisting of a flexible resin film to surface treatment to provide a surface tension of 36 dyne/cm or more and then forming a resin film containing a flame retardant on the treated surface of said substrate or insulating film.
Abstract:
A laminated material comprises a substrate material containing resin-impregnated layers, a metal foil disposed on said substrate and an arc-retardant layer arranged between the metal foil and the substrate material. The arc-retardant layer is an arc-retardant, crosslinked heat-stable synthetic resinous material consisting of from about 60 to 100% by weight of a heat-stable resin which is free of aromatic groupings or heterocyclic rings containing at least one heteroatom and conjugated double bonds and which is not converted to a graphite-containing structure upon being thermally decomposed.
Abstract:
A particular mixture of epoxy resins and phenoxy resin along with curing agents, fillers and the like provides laminates for circuit boards characterized particularly by an improved Z-axis coefficient of expansion along with other desirable properties.
Abstract:
A FIRE RETARDANT, NON-BLISTERING LAMINATE IS PRODUCED BY IMPREGNATING THE UPPERMOST PLY OF A MULTI-PLY LAMINATE WITH A RESIN IN WHICH THE FIRE RETARDANT ADDITIVE IS ABSENT. IF FIRE RETARDANT REQUIREMENTS PERMIT, ONE OR MORE ADDITIONAL PLIES CAN BE ADDITIVE-FREE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE IMPROVED STRENGTH, ECONOMY OR FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
