Precautions in Handling

  • Laminate should be stored flat in a cool dry environment. Avoid bending or scratching the laminate surface.

  • Prepreg should be stored flat in a cool dry controlled environment 23ºC or less and 50% RH or less.
    Extended storage of prepreg should be at a reduced temperature of 5ºC.

  • Open bags of prepreg must be resealed. Prepreg should not be exposed to open environments for more than 8 
    hours total cumulatively under the above conditions or as agreed upon between user and supplier.

  • A first-in-first-out inventory system and a method to track material lot numbers through PWB processing and
    delivery of finished circuits is recommended.

Designing and Inner Layer Process

  • Please be careful when single ply of 1080, 1086, 1078 or 106 prepreg is designed to the dielectric layer.
  • Before feed please baking to remove any absorbed moisture or surface moisture especially for thinner core.
    Baking at 150ºC for 120 minutes is preferred.
  • Oxide Alternative is preferred & recommended over the other oxide chemistry for the advanced boards fabrications, especially for lead free and high layer count applications.
  • Holding time between brown oxide and press process: best control within 6 hours.

Remark: ① Press thickness test condition---Prepreg lamination size 18”*24”, Copper Foil---1oz/1oz, Flow---about 5%; ② Make laminated prepreg to micro-section and measure the thickness with microscope; this thickness is used for resistance design calculation. ③ The thickness measured with micrometer is 0.2~0.4 mil larger than that measured with micro-section; and mainly used for total thickness design calculation.

If use other chemical, please consult the chemical supplier for suggested conditions. Please consult the chemical supplier for suggested conditions.

Packaging and Baking Recommendation

  • It is recommended to bake the board before packaging at 125ºC/4~8h to avoid moisture causing a decrease in heat resistance.
  • If the PCBs needs to be stored for a long time before use, it is recommended to use aluminum foil vacuum packaging.
  • If exceed 3 months after packaging , It is best to bake the PCBs at 125ºC/4~6h before assembly before use.
