Thermally Stabilised Film Technology
PET film is the material of choice for many applications within the electronics industry. In its unstabilised state however, it exhibits anisotropic thermal shrinkage which can result in unacceptable levels of thermal distortion and associated mechanical stress of the circuitry during the high temperature curing of printed inks, or during end use.
ICI Imagedata's Thermal Stabilisation process reduces this shrinkage to a fraction of the inherent levels and significantly reduces the directional differential. The resulting product enables enhanced consistency, reliability and yields in its downstream processing and end-use.
ICI Imagedata has a very strong science base with a large team of graduate scientists and engineers and links with a number of the top universities. Our acknowledged film coating and stabilisation expertise is of benefit to customers, especially at the forefront of technological advance.
