Low Modulus Heat Resistant Film

Research & Development

Super Engineering Plastic Film for FPC

Low Modulus
Heat Resistant Film

Expands the possibilities of high frequency flexible printed circuits (FPC).

This is a new type of polyamide film that achieves both low modulus and heat resistance, which was previously difficult to combine for films. It shows excellent adhesion with copper foil and this feature makes the lamination process easier. The film can be used in a wide range of applications where conventional low-elasticity films do not fit because of the low heat resistance.

Features

  • ・Made from Unitika’s unique polyamide resin
  • ・Low modulus and heat resistant functional film
  • ・Excellent in electrical characteristics and bending resistance
  • ・Excellent in adhesion and chemical resistance
