Solution Overview

Problem

Existing resin compositions for printed wiring boards face challenges in achieving a balance between high heat resistance, chemical resistance, low water absorption, and electrical properties, particularly in multilayer coreless boards, where they often compromise on flow properties or fail to improve dielectric properties and flame retardance.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition combining phenolic, maleimide, epoxy, cyclic carbodiimide compounds, and an inorganic filler, with a specific content range of the inorganic filler and cyclic carbodiimide, along with a curing accelerator, to enhance heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical properties while maintaining flow properties.
