Detailed Product Description

Photo-imageable Etching and Plating Resist Ink

It is a new kind of photoimageable etching and plating resist ink. Its excellent coating

ability can be totally shown via various coating methods. Sharp definition, high accuracy and very minor under cut make it extremely suitable for producing one side, double-sided , high precision multi-layer and flexible PCB boards. Its acid-resistant ink which also good for the boards such as stainless steel , iron and aluminous material. The special characteristic is can be for Sn plating without post-cure.
