Materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures – Part 2-37: Reinforced base materials, clad and unclad – Modified non-halogenated epoxide woven E-glass laminate sheet

Resin system

The article discusses di-functional non-halogenated epoxides and modified non-halogenated epoxides, highlighting their application in woven E-glass laminates with a glass transition temperature ranging from 150 °C to 200 °C It emphasizes that the flammability rating is attained by incorporating non-halogenated flame retardants that are chemically reacted into the polymer.

Inorganic fillers may be used Contrast agents may be added to enhance processing such as automated optical inspection (AOI)
