Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cover film for flexible printed circuit boards, and relates to a resin composition and cover film. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) are products with circuit patterns obtained by etching flexible copper-clad laminates as the substrate material using a subtractive etching process. PCBs are characterized by their lightness, thinness, shortness, and small size, and are widely used in electronic products.

[0003] Cover film is a film-like insulating material coated on one side of an insulating base film such as polyimide film or polyester film. It is an important component of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs). Covering the circuit surface, it not only acts as a solder resist, protecting the circuit from dust, moisture, chemicals, and other forms of damage, but also provides reinforcement, improving the flexural strength of the FPC. Traditional cover films mainly use epoxy and acrylic adhesives. Both of these adhesives require high-pressure or pressure-transfer conditions to achieve effective bonding and circuit filling, which cannot meet the processing requirements of roll-to-roll pressing. Sheet lamination is not only inefficient but also cannot produce large-size FPCs. Currently, due to the limitations of the cover film adhesive layer in the rolling process, downstream FPCs cannot achieve roll-to-roll processing or be manufactured in larger sizes.

[0004] Therefore, developing a roll-to-roll resin composition for use in cover films is of great significance for improving FPC production efficiency and producing large-size FPCs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a resin composition and a cover film, wherein the resin composition enables the cover film to have halogen-free flame retardancy, achieving a flame retardancy rating of V-0, and possessing good peel strength, chemical resistance, and heat resistance, and enabling roll-to-roll rolling.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In one aspect, the present invention provides a resin composition comprising the following components in parts by weight:

[0008] 40-60 parts of carboxylated polyester resin, 10-20 parts of epoxy resin, 10-20 parts of thermoplastic polycaprolactone, and 5-10 parts of curing agent;

[0009] In the resin composition of the present invention, carboxylated polyester resin is used as the main resin, which gives the resin composition good flexibility and adhesion; the introduction of epoxy resin into the composition can increase the crosslinking density of the system, giving the resin composition excellent heat resistance and controllable glue overflow; thermoplastic polycaprolactone has good high-temperature fluidity, which can give the resin composition good fluidity and ensure that the prepared cover film has excellent line filling properties under rolling processing conditions.

[0010] In this invention, the melt flow index of the thermoplastic polycaprolactone at 160°C is 5-8 dg / min (e.g., 5 dg / min, 6 dg / min, 7 dg / min, or 8 dg / min), which enables the resin composition of this invention to have moderate fluidity. If the melt flow index is below 5 dg / min, the melt flowability of the resin composition is insufficient, resulting in poor circuit filling during cover film rolling; if the melt flow index is above 8 dg / min, the melt flowability of the resin composition is too high, resulting in excessive glue overflow and pad contamination during cover film rolling. The melt flow index of this invention is determined according to the standard ASTM-D1238.

[0011] In the resin composition of the present invention, the amount of the carboxylated polyester resin may be 40 parts by weight, 43 parts by weight, 45 parts by weight, 48 parts by weight, 50 parts by weight, 53 parts by weight, 55 parts by weight, 58 parts by weight, or 60 parts by weight; the amount of the epoxy resin may be 10 parts by weight, 12 parts by weight, 15 parts by weight, 18 parts by weight, or 20 parts by weight; the amount of the thermoplastic polycaprolactone may be 10 parts by weight, 12 parts by weight, 15 parts by weight, 18 parts by weight, or 20 parts by weight; and the amount of the curing agent may be 5 parts by weight, 6 parts by weight, 7 parts by weight, 8 parts by weight, 9 parts by weight, or 10 parts by weight.

[0012] The "parts" and "parts by weight" used in this invention are calculated based on solid content and do not include solvents, dispersants, etc.

[0013] In this invention, the carboxyl polyester resin has an acid value of 10-20 mgKOH / g (e.g., 10 mgKOH / g, 12 mgKOH / g, 15 mgKOH / g, 18 mgKOH / g, or 20 mgKOH / g) and a glass transition temperature of 10-30℃ (e.g., 10℃, 13℃, 15℃, 18℃, 20℃, 23℃, 25℃, 28℃, or 30℃). If the acid value of the carboxyl polyester resin is too low, its reactivity with the epoxy resin is insufficient, leading to poor compatibility of the resin composition, decreased heat resistance, and reduced peel strength. If the acid value of the carboxyl polyester resin is too high, a large number of carboxyl groups remain after the resin composition is cured, resulting in poor chemical resistance of the cover film. If the glass transition temperature of the carboxyl polyester resin is too low, the heat resistance of the resin composition is insufficient; if the glass transition temperature of the carboxyl polyester resin is too high, the flexibility of the resin composition is insufficient, and the peel strength is reduced.

[0014] In this invention, the number average molecular weight of the carboxylated polyester resin is 10,000-20,000, for example, 10,000, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, or 20,000. In this invention, if the molecular weight of the carboxylated polyester resin is too low, the film-forming properties and cohesive strength are insufficient, resulting in poor peel strength and heat resistance; if the molecular weight of the carboxylated polyester resin is too high, the flowability of the resin composition deteriorates, resulting in poor conformability and peel strength.

[0015] The number-average molecular weight of the present invention can be determined by gel permeation chromatography based on polystyrene calibration, referring to GB / T 21863-2008.

[0025] Preferably, the antioxidant is a hindered phenolic antioxidant or a phosphate ester antioxidant.

[0026] On the other hand, the present invention provides a resin composition liquid obtained by dissolving or dispersing the resin composition as described above in an organic solvent.

[0027] Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from one or a combination of at least two of acetone, butanone, cyclohexanone, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.

Using a ball mill, pot mill, sand mill, or similar equipment, and in conjunction with a high-shear stirring and dispersing device, the organic solid components and added inorganic solid components of the resin composition are mixed together with the organic solvent to prepare a resin composition liquid. This resin composition liquid is then coated onto an insulating substrate using a coating device. The insulating substrate coated with the resin composition liquid is then passed through an online drying oven and heated at 80–160°C for 2–10 minutes to remove the organic solvent.

[0127] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the resin composition provided in Examples 1-2 of the present invention and the insulating film prepared therefrom have a moderate amount of adhesive overflow, excellent conformability, heat resistance, chemical resistance and flame retardancy, and a peel strength ≥1.84N / mm.

[0128] When the acid value of the carboxylated polyester resin in Examples 3-4 is not within the preferred range, the peel strength, heat resistance, or chemical resistance of the prepared cover film are not as good as those in Example 1; when the glass transition temperature of the carboxylated polyester resin in Examples 5-6 is not within the preferred range, the peel strength or heat resistance of the prepared cover film are not as good as those in Example 1; when the number average molecular weight of the carboxylated polyester resin in Examples 7-8 is not within the preferred range, the conformability, heat resistance, or peel strength of the prepared cover film are not as good as those in Example 1.

[0129] Compared to Example 1, Examples 9-10, which use blocked isocyanate curing agents and isocyanate curing agents, show that the peel strength of the cover films prepared is not as good as that of Example 1.

[0130] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 does not contain thermoplastic polycaprolactone, resulting in a cover film prepared therewith having poor conformability, peel strength and heat resistance compared to Example 1. The adhesive layer has insufficient fluidity and the amount of adhesive overflow is significantly lower.

[0131] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 2-4 used petroleum resin, terpene resin, and rosin resin to replace thermoplastic polycaprolactone, respectively, resulting in coatings prepared with these alternatives exhibiting inferior conformability, peel strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance compared to Example 1.

[0132] When the melt index of the thermoplastic polycaprolactone in Comparative Examples 5-6 is not within the range of the present invention, the conformability, heat resistance, chemical resistance and peel strength of the cover film prepared by it are not as good as those in Example 1.

[0133] The applicant declares that the resin composition and covering film of the present invention are illustrated through the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials of the product of the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
