Product Summary

Upisel®-N is a non-adhesive-type flexible copper clad laminate that is based on our Upilex®-VT polyimide film. The base layer of Upilex®-VT is the same type of BPDA polyimide as our Upilex®-S, which delivers excellent dimensional stability and heat resistance.

Structures

  • Double-sided type
  • Single-sided type

Characteristics

  • Delivers high reliability due to its non-adhesiveness, because there is no degradation of physical properties like that which arises in the adhesive layer of adhesive materials.
  • Features excellent peeling strength, heat soldering resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.
  • The polyimide layer of the one-sided type can be thermally bonded with other metals, ceramics, and similar materials.
  • Environmentally friendly because no adhesives are used.

Uses/Fields

FPC, TCP, MCM-L, COF, rigid-flex boards, multi-layer boards, metal-based boards, high-frequency boards, heat-resistant boards, IC cards, boards for automobiles, and electromagnetic wave shield material.
