PACOTHANE® HT 1500 SMOOTH:

FOR LAMINATION OF RIGID MULTILAYER, FLEXIBLE CIRCUITS AND UNCLAD LAMINATES

OVERVIEW

PACOTHANE® HT1500 SMOOTH - is a High Temperature resistant release film specifically engineered for laminating rigid, flexible and specialty substrate Printed Circuit Boards. It is designated for those Pacothane Technologies customers who desire a release film application requiring a lower Rz value or less matte image transfer on the surface of the laminated substrate.

LAMINATION APPLICATIONS

• Rigid Multilayer Panels: to contain resin squeeze-out; to buffer and protect copper from damaged tooling plates; to minimize stress effect from aluminum tooling 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 lower Rz values due to less image transfer is prevalent on all substrate surfaces such as Copper Foil, Kapton and various Unclad Resins when laminated with PACOTHANE® HT1500 Smooth.

FEATURES

• Contaminate free release from circuit and separator plates
• Rated for Operating Temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) for up to 2 Hours
• Optimal thickness at 1.5 mils (38μm) 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
• Lower surface Rz value to minimize matte image transfer on to the laminated surface of substrate used
