Solution Overview

Problem

Current maleimide resins used in electronic devices exhibit high water absorption and dielectric properties, which are not sufficiently low for high humidity environments and high-frequency applications, compromising their performance in electronic substrates.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition combining a maleimide compound with an indane structure and a hydrocarbon-based compound, represented by Formula (1), which reduces dielectric properties and water absorption while maintaining high glass transition temperature (Tg), enabling the production of prepregs, films, metal foils, metal-clad laminates, and wiring boards with improved thermal and dielectric performance.
