PC-GFN-125 & PC-GFP-125

Difunctional Grade (FR-4)
Multilayer Prepreg Bonding Layer

Recommended Storage
Conditions

Prepreg will absorb moisture when exposed to an uncontrolled environment which can render the material unusable as bonding material. Moisture acts as a plasticizer to prepreg causing laminate voiding due to higher than normal resin flows during lamination. Therefore, prepreg should be protected by moisture proof bags at all times prior to use. For storage longer than 30 days, prepreg should be stored at 5^OC ± 2^OC (40^OF ± 5^OF) at less than 50% relative humidity. Prepreg stored under these conditions should be stabilized at room temperature without opening the moisture proof bag for a minimum of four hours prior to processing.

For storage less than 30 days, prepreg may be stored in a controlled environment of 20^OC ± 2^OC (68^OF ± 5^OF) and 40 ±10% relative humidity in a non-catalytic environment (such as U.V. light or excessive radiation).

Material Characteristics

Electroply's Difunctional prepreg bonding layer is manufactured from the same single part, non-Novalac added, high reliability resin system used to make laminates. This prepreg is fluoresced and U.V. Blocked and is excellent in producing multilayers in manufacturing environments employing laser AOI systems and high intensity light sources used to expose LPI.
