PBTs tailored for MIDs.


Three new PBTs from Lanxess Corp., Pittsburgh, offer improved heat resistance for producing molded interconnect devices (MIDs) with integral circuitry. These grades are formulated for the laser direct structuring process of LPKF Laser & Electronics, Wilsonvile, Ore. This process allows a laser to "draw" the circuitry on a molded part, thereby activating a special additive to permit selective plating of the circuit lines on the plastic surface.

Pocan DP7102 is a 25% mineral-filled injection grade with a melting point melting point, temperature at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid. Under standard atmospheric pressure different pure crystalline solids will each melt at a different specific temperature; thus melting point is a characteristic of a substance and  of about 225 C. It offers high flow and isotropic Refers to properties that do not differ no matter which direction is measured. For example, an isotropic antenna radiates almost the same power in all directions. In practice, antennas cannot be 100% isotropic.  shrinkage for almost warp-free moldings. Pocan TP7140 LDS LDs
