Functional Materials

Ultrahigh-performance epoxy resin that achieves excellent heat resistance, flame retardancy and low viscosity at the same time in a sophisticated manner

Features

  • High heat-resistance

  • Excellent flame-retardancy

  • Low CTE

  • Low moisture absorption

  • Low Df

  • Good solubility

  • Low melt viscosity

Major Applications

  • Green Print Circuit Board (halogen-free)

  • Green IC Package (halogen-free)

  • Build Up Substrate

  • Insulation Film

  • In-vehicle Applications

Resin Physical Properties

  • Since the resin has excellent liquidity, it has superior impregnating and casting ability (low melt viscosity)

  • Since the resin has excellent softening/adhesive resistance, it has high workability (high softening point)

  • High solubility for general-purpose solvent
