High Temperature Substrates for Printed Electronics

High Temperature Substrates for Printed Electronics

Westmoreland, N.H.- November 22, 2010-

High Temperature substrates for Printed Electronics:

For those printed and flexible electronic applications that require high processing temperatures or are used in high temperatures environments, polyimide films are a good choice.

However, printing directly onto polyimide film can be a challenge, even when corona treatment is used. Other treatments can reduce the durability of the substrate. To address this issue, Polyonics is offering thin, flexible polyimide films that utilize a high temperature coating that imparts unique properties including making the film printable.

“By leveraging our years of experience in the printed circuit board label market, we are able to use our coated film that have established success in the surface mount and reflow process” notes Tom Rogers, Marketing Director at Polyonics. “The PCB process is a harsh environment with extreme temperatures and our printable coatings on Polyimide film area great solution for the flexible electronics market”.

The polyimide films offered by Polyonics’ are either 1 or 5 mils thick and are coated with either a clear, for a traditional amber appearance, or with a high opaque white coating. The white coated films are intended to provide contrast for inspection purposes or display applications. These films are printable with flexographic, screen, and digital inks systems and have been tested by several leading conductive ink suppliers.

In addition to these properties, Polyonics can provide additional features such as static dissipation and flame retardants. These substrates comply with the requirements of RoHS, REACH, and are certified to be halogen free to the IEC 61249-2-21 levels.
