Recommended Processing Conditions
| Step | Recommended condition |
|---|---|
| Board pre-treatment | Remove debris, oil and oxides; rinse and dry. |
| Lamination | Roll temperature 110 ± 10°C; pressure 4–5 kg; manual speed 1.0–1.5 m/min or automatic speed 2.0–3.0 m/min. |
| Hold before exposure | Under yellow/orange safe light: 20 ± 2°C, 60 ± 10% RH, 5 min to 24 h; keep boards upright. |
| Exposure | Laser direct imaging is recommended; LED or mercury lamp may also be used. Use a 21-step exposure guide at 6–8 steps. |
| Development | 0.8–1.2% anhydrous sodium carbonate at 30 ± 2°C; spray pressure 0.12–0.20 MPa. |
| Stripping | 3–5 wt% sodium hydroxide at 50 ± 5°C; spray pressure ≥ 0.2 MPa. |
Safety & Storage Guidelines
- Use appropriate safe lighting and avoid prolonged light exposure.
- Avoid direct contact with the photosensitive layer. Provide adequate exhaust during lamination and wear eye and hand protection for alkaline chemicals.
- Store horizontally at 5–20°C and 40–60% RH; protect unused material in black packaging and use within 60 days.
