PACOTHANE® LE 2000:

FOR LAMINATION OF RIGID MULTILAYER, FLEXIBLE CIRCUITS AND UNCLAD LAMINATES

OVERVIEW

PACOTHANE® LE2000 – is designated for those Pacothane release film applications that require a very low extraction of residues on the surface of the laminated substrate. "LE" is perfect for Unclad, Kapton and Stiffener builds which require pristine surfaces post lamination for further secondary sequential lamination builds or printing applications.

LAMINATION APPLICATIONS

• Rigid Multilayer Panels: to contain resin squeeze-out; to buffer and protect copper from damaged plates; to minimize stress effect from aluminum plates; to reduce frequency of plate cleaning; to increase plate life; to prevent press pads from sticking to plates or bonding to tooling pins. (See lay-up recommendation)
• Flex, Rigid-Flex Panels: to contain resin squeeze-out; for complete conformity to part topography; to provide easy separation of conformal hydraulics and driver pads from PCB surfaces. (See lay-up recommendation)
• For both of the above applications "LE" creates a better surface quality on Copper Foil, Kapton and various Unclad Resins where optimum post lamination cleaning processes may not be available.

FEATURES

• Contaminate free release from resins and separator plates
• Rated for Operating Temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) for up to 2 Hours
• Optimal thickness at 1.8 mils (47µm) for easy Handling (50% thicker than competitive release films)
• No embedded impurities
• Extremely low X&Y Axis shrinkage with reduced static potential
• Essentially inert: no out-gassing, no plate residue, no inter-laminar adhesion influence, and no vacuum system contamination
• Environmentally friendly: no Ozone depleting chemicals, no fluorine's
• "LE" low extractable offers a cleaner surface free of residues with minimum extraction characteristics
